173 Mass. 124; 53 N.E. 208; 1899 Mass. LEXIS 1042

Hilton v. McDonald

Opinion of the Court

Holmes, J.

Such occurrences as that of which the plaintiff .complains certainly are not to be encouraged, and no doubt would need very little more to induce a presiding justice to set aside a verdict. But we cannot say that what happened required the verdict to be set aside as matter of law. Johnson v. Witt, 138 Mass. 79. Exceptions overruled.
