Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Heydbneeldt
Justice Heydbneeldt delivered the opinion of the Court. We have before decided, that we can only revise a case upon its facts, *120where the appeal is from the refusal of a new trial, asked for in the Court below, on the distinct ground, that the finding was contrary to evidence. And this power to review the facts, is derived expressly from the statute, which gives an appeal from a decision granting or refusing a new trial.
The judgment must therefore be affirmed.
The appellant petitioned for a rehearing; and cited the New Pract. Act, see. 191.
A rehearing was granted at the ensuing term.
