Opinion of the Court

Fish, O. J.

1. Even if proper diligence were shown, the alleged newly discovered evidence was merely impeaching and cumulative, and was not of such character as would likely produce a different result on another trial.

2. - The evidence was sufficient to support the verdict. None of the grounds of the motion for new trial show cause for a reversal.

Judgment affirmed.
