Cotton v. Stevens

Supreme Court of New Hampshire

Decided June 2, 1925PublishedCited by 3 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtAllen, J.

There was evidence tending to show that when sold the partnership property, including the goodwill of the business, was worth less than its value as found. The plaintiffs’ contention as urged in their brief that there was no reasonable evidence of the particular value found requires but little attention. Whatever is within the range of reasonable deduction from all of the evidence is a legitimate inference and conclusion, and if the evidence on each side is partly discounted, with a mesne result, it is a proper exercise of the fact-finding function. This disposes of the first exception.
