The defendant moved in arrest that the jury had not deducted the two and half per cent, agreeable to the policy, so that the verdict was wrong in point of damages. Upon which the plaintiffs entered a remittitur of the two and half per cent. The cause was continued; and judgment for the plaintiffs — but afterwards a new trial was granted, on the ground of new discovered evidence.
