Opinion

The Court

said it was evident that the jury had given their verdict under a mistake, having given the value of the negro as well as damages; and that as the defendant would have judg[40]*40ment for a return of the property, and a remedy upon the replevin-bond if it should not be .returned, they would grant a new trial, unless the parties would agree upon a compromise. The defendant refused, and a new trial was granted upon payment of all the costs.
