Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS (BY THE COURT.)</p> <p>1. The court is under no obligation in a civil case to instruct the jury unless requested so to do; and hence the fact that an instruction is insufficient is not available error unless a sufficient instruction was requested.</p> <p>2. In the absence of any specific agreement for the measurement of hay in stacks, the rule of measurement laid down in Chapter 34 of the Session1 Laws of 1901, entitled “An Act to establish a legal method of measuring bay,” will control.</p> <p>3. Under the general assignment of error that the ver' diet of the jury and the judgment thereon are contrary to the evidence in the case, the only question that can be considered by the court is- whether there is any substantial evidence to support the verdict.
