1Opinion of the CourtScott, Judge
One of the errors assigned in this cause is, that the court below improperly granted to the plaintiff a new trial. Ever since the case of Helm v. Bassett, 9 Mo. 51, it has been the established law of this court that a writ of error will not lie for granting a new trial. The reasons of the determination in that case are satisfactory, and we have seen nothing since which would warrant us in disturbing it. It is strictly in accordance with the rules and principles of law; while we consider that a contrary opinion would involve the administration of justice in intricacy and confusion.
