1Opinion of the Court

Richards, P. J.:

Rule 59(a) provides that a new trial may be granted to all or any of the parties, and on all or any part of the issues, in an action in which there has heen a trial, for any of the reasons for which new trials have heretofore been granted in actions at law in the Superior Court.

This Court has consistently held that the jury is the exclusive judge of the evidence, and also the exclusive judge of what constitutes the preponderance of the evidence. It has refused to set aside a verdict of the jury when there is sufficient evidence in the record to support it.
