Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided February 5, 1896 · Avery
24 S.E. 492; 118 N.C. 692 (South Eastern Reporter)

Clark v. . Riddle

Opinion of the Court

Avery, J.:

In the exercise of the discretionary power vested in the Court, it is ordered that a new trial be granted on account of newly discovered evidence. Such orders are made in this Court, as in the court below, for no other reason than that we think the ends of justice will be best subserved by taking that course, and are never therefore to be treated as precedents. Sledge v. Elliott, 116 N. C., 112; Brown v. Mitchell, 102 N. C., 347.

New Trial.
