On an appeal from the judgment of the Franklin circuit court.

1Opinion of the Court

Judge Owsley

delivered the ppinion of the court.

Although, in some cases, where evidence has been intro-*183áuced on both sides, it may be proper for the purpose of obtaining substantial justice, to set aside a verdict clearly and palpably against the weight of evidence; yet as in the present case there b«ve been two concurring verdicts in favor of the appellee, although in our opinion against the weight of evidence; we do not consider ourselves authorised to disturb the decision of the court below in overruling the motion of the appellant for a new trial.
