McNally v. Patterson

McNally v. Patterson
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine · Decided October 11, 1957 · Beliveau, Dubord, Sullivan, Tapley, Webber, Williamson
153 Me. 115; 135 A.2d 281; 1957 Me. LEXIS 44

McNally v. Patterson

Opinion of the Court

Per curiam.

This is an action upon a writ of entry. The plaintiff received a verdict with a special finding establishing the disputed property line and an award of damages. The case is before us upon the stereotyped motion for a new trial.

There was substantial, credible evidence to support the verdict in all respects. A discussion of the evidence would be futile. The jury entertained and answered authoritatively a typical, jury question with finality. A careful examination of the record discloses no error of law or of fact in the verdict, which requires correction. McCully v. Bessey, 142 Me. 209, 212.

Motion denied.
