The defendant's appeal included multiple claims of error regarding the admission of testimony and the jury instructions provided by the trial court. However, upon reviewing the complete record, the court concluded that the trial court correctly understood the issues at hand and adequately presented them to the jury. The court found no prejudicial error present. The defendant's testimony indicated that he did not pay the plaintiff due to uncertainty about the amount owed but expressed willingness to pay a reasonable sum if requested. The jury ultimately determined that the plaintiff was entitled to recover $1,500. The appellate court saw no justification to overturn this decision and affirmed the trial court's ruling. Justice Johnson did not participate in the decision.
