The ground of the defendant’s motion to exclude the testimony of J. R. Lindsey, one of the plaintiffs, as to the correctness of the account, or *340as to the correctness of any of the items; was “that it is shown that the witness’ testimony is based absolutely on hearsay, and because of the' witness’ own statement that he did not know a single item that constituted the bill.” This ground of objection was not based upon fact. Not only is it not true that the witness stated that he did not know a single item that constituted the bill, but in the course of his testimony he mentioned several items as based upon facts within his own knowledge, that .he did some of the work covered by the account, that he himself sold to the defendant most of the articles named in it, that he knew that the defendant owed the amount of the account because he (witness) sold most of it himself, and checked all the bills he got; and, besides, the witness testified to admissions made by the defendant of the correctness of the account when an itemized statement of it was presented to him. The motion to exclude was properly overruled, because it was grounded on a palpable misstatement of fact.
The account sued on covered the period from June 14 to August 1, 1909. The entries on the plaintiff’s account book were made by three persons, one of them making the entries under the dates from June 14th to June 18th, both inclusive, another making the subsequent entries to and including July 17th, and still another person making the rest' of the entries. Each of the three persons testified in regard to the entries made by him.' The several parts of the account as shown on the book and covered by the testimony of the three witnesses were successively offered in evidence, and then the plaintiffs offered in evidence the account as a whole as shown on the book. The defendant successively objected to the admission in evidence pf the several portions of the account testified about by the three witnesses, respectively,, and of the account as a whole *341when it Avas offered; the ground of objection now relied on being that-the entries were not original entries,, and were not made by persons having -knowledge.-of the facts or of the correctness- of the several -charges. In neither instance was the whole of the .evidence objected to subject to the-objections made. While the persons who made the entries' did not have knowledge of :-the' correctness of the charges, and made the entries--from memoranda written oh- slips of paper-used by the persons making the sales or doing the work -upon-which the several charges Avere based, yet the correctness of some of these charges was testified to by persons claiming to have knoAVledge of the facts. Besides, it plainly appears from the testimony of the defendant himself that he Avas not" disputing;- -but, on the! contrary," Avas admitting the correctness of a number of items embraced in the account.
He could not have been prejudiced by the admission in evidence of the account book entries of items the correctness of which he did not question. In each instance he made his objection so broad as to cover charges which he Avas confessing to be unobjectionable. As each of these objections went to the whole of the evidence objected to, part of which was not subject to the objection or Avas not prejudicial, the court is not to be put in error for overruling the objections.—Alabama Midland R. Co., v. Darby & Son, 119 Ala. 531, 24 South. 713; Harper v. State, 109 Ala. 28, 19 South. 857.
In view of the conclusion above stated that the court was not in error in its rulings on the defendant’s objections to the proof of the account sued on,-it is-plain' that the tenth'and eleventh assignments o.f error, based' upon the refusal -of two Avritten charges requested by the defendant, cannot be sustained. Each of these *342charges involves the assumption that the only evidence in the case supporting the plaintiff’s claim as made in their complaint was that in reference to his admissions and promises on the subject. The assumption is unwarranted. Independent of the evidence as to the defendant’s admissions and promises, there was evidence tending to support the claim of the plaintiffs as set up in their complaint. For this reason, the refusal of those two charges maybe justified, without considering whether they were otherwise subject to objection.
Affirmed.
