Syllabus
<p>1— A demurrer to evidence is a demurrer to the competency of the evidence, and admits it to he sufficient if competent. All, therefore, that a judge can decide upon a demurrer to evidence is, whether any competent evidence was given or not.</p> <p>2— When there was competent evidence adduced in support of the allegations made in the petition, it was error to sustain a demurrer to the evidence.</p> <p>3— When the court below has erroneously sustained a demurrer to the evidence adduced by the plaintiff in support of his petition, and has thereupon rendered judgment in favor of the defendant, this court, in reversing the judgment on appeal, will proceed farther and render such judgment for the plaintiff as should have been rendered by the court below.</p>
