Wester v. Hedberg
Supreme Court of Minnesota
Appeal by defendants from an order of the district court for Nobles county, P. E. Brown, J., denying a new trial after a verdict for plaintiff for $423.78.
1Opinion of the CourtStart, C. J.
This is an action for the recovery of $400 claimed by the plaintiff to be due to him from the defendants as a balance of the purchase price of certain land sold by them as his agents. Verdict for the plaintiff, and the defendants appealed from an order denying their motion for a new trial. There are but three assignments of error meriting consideration. They are (a) that the verdict is not justified by the evidence; (b) that such misconduct of the jury was shown as to entitle the defendants to a new trial; (c) that they are also entitled to a new trial on the ground of accident and surprise.
