Smith v. Byers

Opinion of the Court

WARNER, J.

On looking through the record in this case and considering the errors assigned therein, we are of the opinion that the motion for a new trial was properly overruled by the Court below. There is sufficient evidence to sustain the verdict, and the jury were the exclusive judges as to the credibility and weight of the defendant’s evidence, who were examined in their own favor on the trial.

Let the judgment of the Court below be affirmed.
