Opinion
In the circuit court a jury was waived by stipulation in writing, and thereupon the court made a special finding of facts in the case. The errors assigned are substantially to the effect that the facts as found by the court, under the pleadings in the ease, do not warrant the judgment rendered. A careful examination of the pleadings and findings satisfies us that the findings fully support the judgment, and that there is no room, under the facts as found, for the application of the maxim, “In pari delicto melior est conditio defendentis.” The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.
