Karatofsky v. Fybush

Hart, J. Appellees, Fybush Brothers, brought suit against appellant, J. Karatofsky, in the Garland Circuit Court to recover the sum of $1,090.30, alleged to be due upon account for goods, wares and merchandise sold appellant by appellees. There was a trial before a jury, and a verdict returned in favor of appellees for the sum of $917.17. The case is here on appeal. The only assignment of error is based upon the action of the trial court in refusing to give a certain instruction asked by appellant. This instruction is set out in appellant’s ábstract, but it appears that other instructions were given by the court, and that they are not set out in appellant’s abstract. Rule nine of this court requires that the instructions given, as well as those refused,-by the court should be set out. The rule was adopted for the purpose of facilitating the work of the court, and is a very salutary one. Appellees have moved to affirm the judgment for non-compliance with this rule, and the motion will be granted. Tor cases in point, where the rule has been enforced, we refer to the eases of Mine LaMotte L. &. S. Co. v. Coal Co., 85 Ark. 123, and Files v. Law, 88 Ark. 449, in which earlier cases applying the rule are cited. Judgment affirmed. Battle, J., absent.
