 A. C. Labrie, (Stone, Newman & Resser, of counsel,) for appellants. Herman Winterer, for respondents.

. This action was brought to foreclose a mortgage. Judgment in the court below was rendered in favor of the plaintiffs, decreeing the foreclosure of the mortgage, and the sale of only a portion of the mortgaged premises.

The judgment of the district court is reversed, and that court is directed to enter judgment of foreclosure and sale, as prayed for in the complaint. All the judges concur.

Held, that error cannot be assigned on the ruling on the motion for verdict, as the error, if any, was waived by defendant by subsequently introducing his testimony; and, held, further, that, if defendant, desired to preserve the point, he must renew his motion for verdict upon all the evidence in the case.

4. When Court Should Direct Verdict.

The existanceexistence [sic] of any legal evidence in the record,. upon which a verdict for the party holding the burden of proof can be based, is a ques-
