People ex rel. Stork v. Judge of the Superior Court
Michigan Supreme Court
Decided June 3, 1879PublishedCited by 4 opinions
Mandamus to set aside an order granting a new trial which, had previously been denied, in a case where there was great laxity in settling the bill of exceptions.
1Per curiam
An order granting a new trial cannot finally dispose of any rights, and is usually, at least, discretionary; and the Supreme Court will not review it simply because we would not have granted it, even though, as in this case, the party seems to have lost by negligence any very good claim to a new trial.
Mandamus denied.
