Smith v. Minneapolis Street Railway Co.
Supreme Court of Minnesota
Appeal by plaintiff from an order of the district court for Hennepin county, Harrison, J., granting a motion for a new trial.
1Opinion of the CourtBrown, J.
Action to recover damages for personal injuries alleged to have been caused by the carelessness and negligence of defendant. Plaintiff had a verdict in the court below, and appealed from an order granting a new trial.
The court below granted a new trial without assigning any reasons therefor, and, as the motion upon which the order was based asked for a new trial upon grounds other than that the verdict was not sustained by the evidence, we are limited in the consideration of the case to the question whether any errors of law occurred on the trial which justify the order.
