BOSS v. NORTHEBN PACIFIC RAILROAD CO.

The party appealing must show from the facts that the law is necessarily in his favor. G rant v. Morse, 22 N. Y. 324; Ford v. Pearson, 15 Pac. Rep. 535. The party alleging error must show it specifically. Briant v. Trimmer, 47 N. Y. 96; Acker v. Carver, 23 Minn, 567. The presumption of law is that there was evidence to sustain every fact found.
