Mississippi Supreme Court
Decided January 15, 1852PublishedCited by 4 opinions
In error from the circuit court of Attala county; Hon. R. C. Perry, judge. Cited Williams v. Barnes, 3 Dev. 348; Willis v. Bunn, Wright, 134; Filch v. Peckham, 16 Verm. R. 150; U. S. Dig. 470.
1Per curiam
In this case we think that a new trial ought not to be awarded. The -verdict is fully sustained by the proof, and although, as mere abstract questions of law, some of the instructions asked for by plaintiffs in error and refused by the court below were probably correct, yet, as the verdict of the jury is in accordance with the proof, and a new trial on the same proof should produce a like result, we do not feel at liberty to disturb the verdict.
Let the judgment be affirmed.
