Dunning v. Staples
Dunning v. Staples
Opinion of the Court
When a verdict is clearly against the weight of evidence, it is the duty of the court to set it aside and grant a new trial; but when the evidence is conflicting, and its weight to a great extent depends upon the credibility of the witnesses, and it is difficult to determine on which side it preponderates, the finding of the jury will not be disturbed; the parties must abide by the result.
In this case, the evidence is conflicting. It is an action to recover for poplar wood sold by the plaintiff to the defendant.
Motion overruled.
Judgment on the verdict.
