Summary
From the circuit court of Lowndes county. Non. Bobert F. Cochran, Judge. This was an action brought by the appellant, Sikemeier, against the appellee, Jacob, on an open account for goods sold and delivered, in which the defendant, Jacob, claimed credit for one closet returned to plaintiff as unsatisfactory, a year and a day after its purchase. There was unreasonable delay in the return of the closet and the defendant was not entitled to a credit on account thereof. 4 Current Law, p. 1332, par. 2, § 10.

Opinion of the Court — Calhoon

Text extracted by OCR from a scanned original; check the original for exact wording.

Calhoon, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

This record presents an action on an open account of various items, among which there appears charged the appliances for a certain closet. It is shown that this closet was sold and delivered to the appellee, and retained by him for more than a year *563 before it was returned to tbe vendor; and in reference to this item the court below, as we think properly, charged the jury that “the closet returned in this case was retained too long to be returned.” Notwithstanding this direct charge, the jury returned a verdict for • the defendant, and the court below refused to grant a new trial, in which we think there is error.

Reversed and remanded.
