The market wns a little slow on ulcers , there being no great amount of activity to the trade , but nt the same time the prices paid were a little stronger. With only nliotit fifteen loads of cows and heifers on sale holders were all asking a little more money. While the demand was fair. It wns no easy matter , In many cases , to secure any advance. Some sales men sold out nt prices Hint looked n little better to them , whllo others claimed that the buyers would offer them no more than steady prices. The market ns n whole could hardly bo quoted more than steady to strong on cow stuff. Stockers nnd feeders were In very light nupply , nnd while there wns little country demand , speculators were wanting a few nnd they paid a little better prices for what there was here.

Oilier cases decided wtre ; Ilrnmbcck n nliiiit ( icrmnii Nntlonal bank. Error from the district court ot Oasc county. Atllrmed. Opinion by Jlr. Chief Justice Norvnl. It Is the settled bnv of this slnto that error cannot be predicated upon the over ruling of n challenge tq n Juror for cause , when the record does not disclose that the coinplnlnliiR party has exhausted nil his peremptory chiillonKcs. 2. When n note Is slRiied by the principal nnd four sureties , nn agreement between the principal and finch nineties that It Is not to bo delivered to the payee until n cer- lain other person SKIIS ! as surety , which condition Is not compiled with , constitutes no defense , unless the payee bad notice or knowli'dRu of the nRreemenl nt the time of the delivery , or of fncts which should linvo Induced Inquiry. * 3. It Is not reversible error to refuse to Klvc nn Instruction not applicable to the evidence , or one which Ims been covered by Instructions Riven by the court on Its own motion. 4. Held , that the evidence sustains the verdict. C > H Is not error to refuse to submit n form ot verdict to the jury which Is not icsponslve to nil the Issues In the cnsc. 0. Objections to the form nnd terms ofiti verdict should bo matlp In the trial court nt the time of Its rendition to be of any avail In this court. HopKcnknmp against Unweaves , 39 Neb. , 40. followed. Jones iiBnlnpt Drlscoll. Krror from ithe district court of Snrpy county. Alllrmed. Opinion by Mr. Commissioner Hynn. In error proceeding from n justice of the pence to reverse n JtidKinent because It was n'.IPKed by nlllclavlt that less thnn six jurors found the verdict upon which wns based such judgment , the recitations of the transcript must prevail .over . contrndlctory statements embodied In the allldnvlt. 2. A HtlKnnt who does not object to mere Irregularities In receiving n verdict , when the existence of such Irregularities Is known to him nt the time they occur , cannot com plain of them for thp llrst time upon error proceedings In the district court. 3. A cause of notion arising upon contract may properly be pleaded by way of set off In an action brought for the recovery of damages. Following Raymond against Green , 12 Neb. . 215. State ex rel Hoffman against .Moore. .Mnii- dnmus. Writ nllowed. Opinion by Mr. Commissioner Irvine. The validity of munlclpnl bonds Is not af fected by nn apparent Irregularity which does not opernte as nn cvnslon of nny pro- vlon of law or a departure from the pro vision rntlllcd bv the voters. 2. January 10. 1893 , the Uoycl county board ordered an election for the purpose of voting on n proposition to Issue funding bonds. The election wns held February 19 , nnd the proposition cnrrled. The bonds were presented for registration In April. They were In exact conformity with the proposition submitted , bore interest nt G pur cent , matured twenty years nfter date , nnd were redeemable nt the option of the county board ten years after date , but were dated January 2 , 1895 , this date baltig a portion of the proposition submitted to vote.

Reversed and remanded. Opinion by Mr. Chief Justice Norvnl. Defendants Jointly indicted for a felony , in the discretion of the court , may be separately tried , on motion of either the state or a defendant. 2. Objection to a severance comes too late after the formation of the jury. 3. A building erected upon a fnrm , de signed and used for the purpose of storing porn after It Is husked , Is a storehouse nnd warehouse within the meaning of tectlon 48 of the criminal code denning burglary. 4. Evidence examined , and held sutllclent to establish that the breaking was com mitted In the night season. 5. A breaking necessary to constitute the crime of burglary may be- any act of phy sical force , however slight , by which the obstruction to entering Is forcibly removed. 0. Error cannot be successfully assigned upon the omission of the trial court to In struct the Jury In a criminal prosecution that the failure of the defendant to testify creates no presumption against him , where no Instruction presenting such special fea ture of the trial was requested. 7. It Is error to give nn Instruction which assumes a controverted material fnct upon which there Is a conflict of testimony. 8. The giving of an erroneous Instruction is reversible error , although a correct ex position of the law on the same point haw been given to the jury. 9. That n building wns burglariously en tered and property stolen therefrom was , soon thereafter , found In the exclusive pos session of the licensed do not , alone , raise a presumption of law that ho Is guilty of the burglary.

Error from the district court of Unwes county. Alllrmed. Opinion by Mr. Justice Harrison. The ntndavlt required by the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure , In nn action commenced before a Justice of the peace to recover the possession of specific per sonal property , is the basis of the action and Is jiiruullctlonal and must be IKed before a valid writ cnn Issue. 2. AVhero the original affidavit in an action or replevin contains a defective statement of the necessary averments of the plain tiff's rights or claims It may be amended to make clear or certain that which was Indefinite or uncertain. 3 , When In an action of replevin Instituted by a coiporutlon or partnership the nf- lldavlt Is mndo by Home person for the cor poration or partnership , It must. In Its averments , refer to the rights and claims of the corporation or Mrm , and not those of the afllant , and If , In each necessary allegation , It refers to the claims of the afllant , the nllldnvlt will bp treated as In favor of the afllant Individually , and In- sulllclent to authorize the Issuance of nn order of delivery In favor of the corporation or firm , and where such writ was Issued and Is attacked by motion to quash on the ground of Insulllclcncy of the allldavit , tuch illldiivlt may not be umended so ns to make It one In favor of the corporation or part nership. Hough against Stover. Appeal from the district court of Douglas county. Alllrmed. Opinion by Mr. Commissioner Ryan. In a collateral proceeding a judgment Irregulnrly rendered cannot be assailed on that ground , provided the court which rcn- lered such judgment had proper jurisdic tion. 2.
