Smith v. Porter

Indiana Supreme Court

Decided December 4, 1854PublishedCited by 3 opinions

ERROR to the Hamilton Circuit Court.

1Opinion of the CourtStuart, J.

Case for slanderous words. Verdict and judgment for the plaintiff.

The record does not purport to contain all the evidence.

Elder v. Robins, 2 Ind. 210.—Montgomery v. Doe d. Pearson, 4 Ind. 266. And even if it did, the party moving for a new trial superseded that motion by a motion in arrest of judgment. Rogers v. Maxwell, 4 Ind. 243.—Bepley v. The State, id. 264.

We see nothing in the record which the latter motion would reach.

Per Curiam. — The judgment is affirmed with costs.
