Indiana Supreme Court, 1854

Smith v. Porter

Smith v. Porter
Indiana Supreme Court · Decided December 4, 1854 · Stuart
5 Ind. 429

Smith v. Porter

Opinion of the Court

Stuart, J.

Case for slanderous words. Verdict and judgment for the plaintiff.

The record does not purport to contain all the evidence.

Elder v. Robins, 2 Ind. 210.—Montgomery v. Doe d. Pearson, 4 Ind. 266. And even if it did, the party moving for a new trial superseded that motion by a motion in arrest of judgment. Rogers v. Maxwell, 4 Ind. 243.—Bepley v. The State, id. 264.

We see nothing in the record which the latter motion would reach.

Per Curiam. — The judgment is affirmed with costs.
