Joseph O. McCARTY, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. MERCURY METALCRAFT COMPANY, a Michigan corporation, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 31.

Supreme Court of Michigan.

Sept. 2, 1964.

Kenneth N. Kramer, M. T. Clemens, for plaintiff McCarty.

Jaras & Jaras, Detroit, for defendant, Mercury Metalcraft Co.

Befofe the Entire Bench.

KAVANAGH, Chief Justice.

Under date of August 5, 1964, pursuant to remand, the trial court made a determination as a matter of fact from conflicting testimony that defendant had not sustained its burden of proof as to the subsequent oral agreement. Since the evidence in this, a law case tried to the court without a jury, does not preponderate against that finding, we will not disturb it. Firemen's Insurance Co. v. Sterling Coal Co., 348 Mich. 564, 83 N.W.2d 319; In re Karch's Estate, 311 Mich. 158, 18 N.W.2d 410.

The judgment of the lower court is affirmed in the entirety. Plaintiff shall have costs.
