People ex rel. Alderman v. Montcalm Circuit Judge, 41 Mich. 550 (Mich. 1879)
49 N.W. 923
People ex rel. Alderman v. Montcalm Circuit Judge
Opinion of the Court
The judge acted properly in setting aside the judgment if there was any question as to his interest in the case. He has a right to grant new trials in the exercise of a fair discretion, and we are -not disposed in the exercise of our own discretion to inquire whether his- interest was such as legally to disqualify him. He acted wisely and honorably in yielding to the doubt, and we shall not interfere.
Motion denied.
