Syllabus

<p>EVIDENCE — ADMISSIBILITY OF STENCIL PLATES TO SHOW LUMBEK MARKINGS — INSTRUCTIONS.</p> <p>In an action against a lumber company for damages for not furnishing a purchaser the grade of lumber he had contracted for, it is not error to permit defendant to introduce in evidence the stencil plates used in marking the lumber when the plaintiff had already introduced testimony as to the marking of the lumber.</p> <p>Where instructions are given a jury sufficient to enable them to correctly determine the questions which the evidence in the cause tends to prove or disprove, it is not prejudicial error if any of the instructions given should not be strictly applicable, to the material questions involved.</p> <p>Where instructions given embody all the law necessary for the determination of the material facts in the case, it is not error to refuse requested instructions, even if they correctly state the law applicable to the questions to be decided by the jury.</p>
