Edwards v. Irving Trust Co.

PER CURIAM. This action was tried to a jury in the court of common pleas of Oklahoma county, Okla., by Irving Trust Company, trustees for Metropolitan Chain Stores, Inc., defendants in error herein, for recovery of amount alleged to be due by Gasper Edwards, plaintiff in error herein, for office rent; the plaintiff in error making counterclaim for damages sustained by him because of alleged untenantable condition of the premises in question. Careful examination of the record presented in support of this appeal reveals that no objections were made or exceptions taken at any stage of the proceedings in the trial court, there onlj- being an exception to the overruling of the plaintiff in error’s motion for new trial. Therefore, the sufficiency of evidence to support jury’s verdict, erroneous or insufficient instructions, or conduct of trial court cannot be urged here as grounds for reversal of judgment rendered by trial court.
