Murphy v. St. Paul City Railway Co.
Minnesota Supreme Court · Decided December 23, 1895 · Buck
63 Minn. 301; 65 N.W. 356; 1895 Minn. LEXIS 492 (Minnesota Reports)

Murphy v. St. Paul City Railway Co.

Opinion of the Court

BUCK, J.

This case comes within the rule laid down in Hicks v. Stone, 13 Minn. 398 (434), and repeatedly followed by this court; and the evidence is so far from being manifestly and palpably in favor of the verdict that the preponderance thereof is against it. As great weight is given by this court to the opinion of the trial judge, and there appears no abuse of his discretion, the order granting a new trial is affirmed.
