At close of testimony on trial to a jury the court ruled that no questions of fact had been raised, granting peremptory instructions as follows: In favor of Pate against Cantrell for $500; that the building was the property of Broadnax; and denying all other prayers for relief by way of cross-action, etc. To such rulings defendant Cantrell gave notice of appeal; plaintiff Pate excepting to the court action denying his plea against both Cantrell and Broadnax for exemplary damages.
