Terrell v. Wiggins
Supreme Court of North Carolina
Terrell v. Wiggins, 23 N.C. 172 (N.C. 1840)
Ruffin
Terrell v. Wiggins
Opinion of the Court
The jury could not have beep misled to the prejudice of the plaintiff; for the charge of the Judge was as explicit as if; could be, in favour of the plaintiff. There was, therefove, no error on the part of the court — . at all events, of which the plaintiff can complain. Then, as to error, or rather mistake of the jury in finding a verdict without evidence, or against evidence, or against the law; it can, if it exist, be corrected only by the Judge presiding at the trial, and as has been often, decided, is beyond the reach of this court. Goodman v. Smith, 4 Dev. 450—Bank of Newbern v. Pugh, 2 Hawks, 389.
Per Curiam. Judgment affirmed.
