Opinion

Per Curiam. —

It is apparent from the record that there was conflicting testimony on issues material to the case, and we arc of the opinion that the judge of the trial court should have denied the motion for an instructed verdict in favor of the defendant at the conclusion of all the testimony, as he did when a similar motion' was made after the introduction of the testimony on behalf of the plaintiff. See Pendarvis v. Pfeifer, 132 Fla. 724, 182 South. Rep. 307.
