Court | Missouri Court of Appeals |
Appeal from Circuit Court, Jefferson County; Jos. J. Williams, Judge.
Action by Greenbrier Distillery Company against Philip R. Van Frank. From an order sustaining defendant's motion for a new trial, plaintiff appeals. Reversed and remanded.
R. H. Whitelaw and Wilson Cramer, for appellant. Robt. L. Wilson and Byrns & Bean, for respondent.
Under the title of Hackett et al. v. Van Frank this case has been before this court on two previous appeals, the first time on the appeal of defendants, reported 105 Mo. App. 384, loc. cit. 400, 79 S. W. 1013, 1017. In the opinion in that case, which was rendered by Judge Goode, it was said:
On the second appeal, which was by the plaintiffs, the court had refused to allow the amendment of the names of the parties plaintiff from the name of the partners to that of the corporation, under which it appears they were doing business at the time the sale is alleged to have been made to the defendant. That case is reported 119 Mo. App. 648, 96 S. W. 247, when this court held that the amendment should have been allowed. The venue of the case was again changed, and it was finally tried in Jefferson county, and resulted in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the full amount claimed as the value of certain barrels of whisky alleged to have been sold by plaintiff to the defendant. On a motion for a new trial, which the defendant filed, the trial court sustained the motion, and granted a new trial for the reason assigned Whereupon plaintiff appealed; the error assigned being that the circuit court erred in sustaining the defendant's motion for a new trial and in granting him a new trial. The defendant, resisting the appeal, contends that there not only was no error in granting the new trial for the reasons stated by the trial court, but that, outside of the reasons assigned by the trial court, a new trial should have been awarded for error of the court in refusing intructions he asked, numbered 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and an instruction not numbered, but which we number 11.
The facts in the case so far as necessary to an understanding of it are set out in the report of the case in 105 Mo. App. and 79 S. W., before referred to. Beyond that we only consider it necessary to a full understanding of the case as now before us to set out the instructions which were given and refused.
At the instance of the plaintiff the court gave three instructions as follows: ...
