Hawn v. Yakima County
160 P. 7, 93 Wash. 87, 1916 Wash. LEXIS 1156
Opinion
Appeal from an order granting a new trial upon the ground of insufficiency of the evidence to justify the verdict. We have held in an unbroken line of decisions that the discretion to so order is vested in the lower court, and that its judgment when so entered will not be disturbed on appeal unless there is a manifest abuse of such discretion. The record presents no such abuse.
The judgment is affirmed.
