Kelley v. Kelley

Supreme Court of Kansas
Kelley v. Kelley, 79 Kan. 410 (Kan. 1909)
99 P. 1134; 1909 Kan. LEXIS 204

Kelley v. Kelley

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

After a trial and judgment a motion for a new trial was filed and denied. Time was then taken to make a case. This time was permitted to expire without action. The defeated party afterward filed a motion for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence, supporting it by affidavits. This was denied, time being again fixed for making a case. *411Within this time a case was served and settled, upon which we are now asked to review the proceedings prior to the judgment as well as the ruling on the second' motion for a new trial. Under these circumstances the case-made presents no question except whether error was committed in denying the motion for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence. The evidence given at the trial is not preserved, and we are therefore unable to estimate the importance of the evidence set out in the affidavits. The judgment is affirmed.
