ALEXANDER

v.BILGER.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

Feb. 13, 1902.

Appeal from district court, Pottawattamie county; N. W. Macy, Judge.

This is an action to recover reasonable compensation for supporting defendant's minor children. A jury trial was had, which resulted in a verdict for plaintiff, upon which judgment was rendered. Defendant appeals. Affirmed.Turner & Cullison, for appellant.

Saunders & Stuart and A. L. Preston, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Plaintiff is the grandfather of the children. After the death of defendant's wife, who was plaintiff's daughter, the children were taken by the grandparents to their home, and there given board, lodging, clothing, and schooling. The instructions given by the trial court were not properly excepted to, and, furthermore, no error is assigned upon them. They constitute the law of the case. Under the rule they lay down, there was substantial support for the verdict rendered, and, as the want of such support is the only ground argued on appeal, the judgment must be affirmed.
