Opinion of the Court

Bigelow, C. J.

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.
