Opinion of the Court
The numerous authorities cited by the plaintiff’s counsel show that the point of law on which the defendants relied in support of their motion for a new trial is untenable. But if it were otherwise, they cannot avail themselves of a point of law not raised at the trial as a ground of setting aside the verdict on a motion for a new trial. Kidney v Richards, 10 Allen, 419. Doyle v. Dixon, ante, 213.
