Opinion

Coxe, J.

I have examined with care the questions presented by this motion, and I am convinced that no error was committed on the trial of sufficient gravity to justify the court in setting aside the verdict. The propositions advanced by the plaintiff on the trial were sustained by testimony; so were the propositions of the defendants. There was, then, a clear question of fact, which it was the duty of the court to submit to the jury, and their finding, in such circumstances, ought not to he disturbed. The motion is denied.
