1Opinion of the CourtHill, C. J.

The first grant of a new trial by the judge of the superior court, on certiorari to review a verdict and judgment in a justice’s court, will not be disturbed, unless the verdict was demanded by the evidence. If a verdict was demanded at all, it was demanded in favor of the defendant, and not for the plaintiff. Judgment affirmed.
