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 — Heydenfeldt

The opinion of the Court was delivered by Heydenfeldt, Justice.

This was an appeal from a refusal to grant a new trial. The evidence is conflicting, and might have warranted, a verdict on either side. It is in such cases not the province of the Court to disturb the finding. It is presumed that the jury or the Court had good reasons for giving more credence to the witnesses of the successful party.

Judgment is affirmed, with costs.
