Opinion of the Court

The Court

refused the rule. They would not alow a juror to. deny his verdict rendered in court in such way as to imply his assent, even if it was not 'expressed, as the record says it was. It was the duty of the juror to express his dissent to the verdict, if he-did not agree to it.

In regard to after discovered evidence, it must be shown to be not only important, but that it was not in the party’s power to have discovered it, by reasonable diligence, before the trial.
