7. A verdict for fc!5 for "medicine, doc
tor's bill and nurse s hill" will not be set

I'i414. Maurer against' Relfschneider. Ap

modified; cause remanded for further pro
ceedings. Itton, J. Sedgwick, J., not
sitting.
1. A 'nuncupative will la not effective to
pass title to real estate In this state. j
2. The possession of land by a life tenant
will not ho construed to be hostile and
adverse to a remainder-man unless the
knowledge la clearly brought home to the
latter that the life tenant claims the entire
estate In his own right, adverse and hostile
to any claim or Interest In the land by
the remainder-man or others claiming
under him.
8. The recording of a deed conveying the
entire estate to a third person by a life
tenant who rem alas In possession of the
premises, Is not alone sufficient to start
tho running of the statute of limitations
against an action to quiet title brought
by the remainder-man under sections
I0S68. 10870, Ann. St.. ID09.
4. Such an action does not .accrue until
knowledge that tho life tenant In possession
Is claiming to own the entire fee (a brought
home to the owner of the remainder.
6. In an action tn quiet the title of a
remainderman as against a life tenant In
possession, equity will require as a condition
ot relief that the plaintiff do eoultv bv pav
ing her proportion of a mortgage lien on
the premises which existed at the time of
the death or the common ancestor and
which was paid by the life tenant.

IS 6. FlUgerald against Young. Appeal
Lanoasterr Affirmed. Rose. J.
1. Affidavits in support ot a motion for
a new trial cannot be considered on appeal
unless mad a part of the bill of exoep

1. Where plaintiff In a suit for slander
pleads that words actionable per se were
spoken of plaintiff by defendant In pres
ence or a third person named and others.
proof that the words were spoken to such
person alone win sustain a recovery.
8. On appeal a Judgment will not be re
versed for an immaterial variance between
an allegation In the petition and plaintiff's
proofs. -
4. To say of a woman in her profession
of school teacher that she "Is craxy and
not fit to teach school." or that she "fs
craav and Is an unmerciful liar and Is unfit
to teach school" Is actionable per se. If the
words are spoken to and beard by a third
person.
t In I suit for slander pleading and
proof or special damages are unnecessary,
where Imputation Is actionable per se.
6. Where words actionable per se are
r roved as pleaded In an action for slander,
he trial court should not sever words or
phrases composing the defamatory matter
and Instruct the Jurv that tho dismembered
parts are not defamatory.
7. In proving a slander composed of
several phrases a witness Is not required
to state In an answer to a single question
all of the defamatory matter pleaded, but
It Is sufficient to testify In several answers
to all of the phrases composing the whole
and state facts showing that they were
published in one conversation In the sense
alleged In the petition.
8. If criticism of an Instruction Is based
on particular testimony, such testimony
should be specifically pointed out In the
brief of a correct reference to the page or
pages In the bill of exceptions, where it
may ba found.
8. A defamer who publishes a alander
may be held liable for the consequences
of later publication naturally, resulting
from his act.
10. On appeal appellant cannot predicate
error on ruling in ins own ravor.
11. Where malice is an issue In an action
for slander the plaintiff may show that de
fendant repeated the words both before and
the event of such contest proving success
ful the estate acquired for the minor
thereunder is proiierly chargeable with a
reasonable compensation for the services
of the attorney In such proceeding.
2. But where In such a case the persons
employing such attorney agree with him
that he sholl receive for his services In
that behalf, one-third or one-half of the
recovery In such contest proceedings, such
agreement will not be sustained and the
estate recovered for such minor charged
therewith, unless it appears that suoh pro
portion of the recovery does not exceed
a reasonable compensation for the services
so performed by such attorney.
1. And In sucn a rase It is the duty of
the court, even It no defense In Interposed
n behalf of such minor, on its own mo
tion, to protect the Interest of such minor
by refusing to permit a recovery tor more
the execution creditor who also held a de
cree of foreclosure of mortgage against the

no money was paid to the sheriff, a motion
to require the' officer to pay the amount
of the bid over the execution debt Into
court for the benefit of the debtor should
not be sustained or, if sustained, the order
not enforced until a reasonable opportunity
Is afforded the plaintiff by proper pleadings
to set out the facts and apply for equitable
reller.

2. "How far. if at all. a party shall be
permitted to cross-examine, or put leading
questions to his own witnesses, where they

the discretion of the 'trial court, and ita
rulings in such matters wll not be dis
turbed except for manifest abuse of dis
cretion." Hackney apalnst Raymond Bros.,
Clarke Co., 8 Neb. fi4.
3. In a prosecution for gambling, where
the case for the state rests largely upon
the testimony of witnesses who have been
guilty of a like offens, and the court pro
perly instructs the Jury as to the weight
to be given the testimony of such witnesses
and the testimony given by such wit
nesses is sufficient to sustain the verdict
of the Jurv rendered thereon, the verdict
will not, ordinarily be disturbed in thla
court, even though such testimony bs con
tradicted by the accused.
