Doe ex dem. Hanby v. Roe

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

Lumpkin, J.,

delivering the opinion.

We think the verdict contrary to the weight of evidence in this case; but not so strongly and decidedly so as to authorize a new trial, especially when it has been refused by the circuit judge who presided on the trial of the cause.

We rather think this lot of land has been made without being paid for. Still there is a conflict of testimony; and the jury were probably the best judges as to the facts.

Judgment affirmed.
