Opinion

Per Curiam.

The verdict is, no doubt, clearly against evidence ; hut this being an action for a penalty, there is no new trial granted, in such cases, on the ground of the verdict being contrary to evidence, provided the verdict be for the defendant, and there be no irregularity in the case. (2 Stra. 899. 1238.) There is, at least, as strong reason for applying this rule to such trials in justices’ courts, as in any other.

Judgment affirmed.
