The ■ seller notified the buyer that if the lumber was unsatisfactory- to forward same to Mansfield, Ohio. The Hyde Park Co. protested against this and kept the lumber until about the 5th of August. The Wyatt Co. then sued and a cross-petition was filed by the defendant claiming damages for breach of contract. The trial resulted in a judgment for the shipper, whereupon the Wyatt Co. prosecuted error. A cross-petition in error was also filed by The Hyde Park Co. In sustaining the judgment the court held:

1.That it could not be said as a matter of law against the weight of evidence and that substantial justice was done.
