Butler v. Fitzpatrick

Butler v. Fitzpatrick

Opinion of the Court

Berry, J.

No questions of any difficulty or importance arise in this case, except of fact. These have been determined in favor of the plaintiff, by a jury whose verdict the court before which the trial was had, has refused to set aside. We shall not disturb the order of refusal, for two reasons : first, because the testimony as reported is conflicting, and though it is not very satisfactory, there is-certainly some evidence in the case having a reasonable tendency to establish the plaintiff’s ownership and right to possession of the doors in controversy ; and second, because it does not appear that all the testimony upon which the verdict was founded, is contained in the return filed in this court.

Order affirmed.
