Davison v. West Oxford Land Co.
Supreme Court of North Carolina
Davison v. West Oxford Land Co., 30 S.E. 303 (N.C. 1898)
122 N.C. 276; 1898 N.C. LEXIS 243
PER CURIAM.
Davison v. West Oxford Land Co.
Opinion of the Court
Without deciding the question of practice raised by the petition to rehear this case, we deem it proper under all the circumstances to order an unrestricted new trial of the action. In using the words- *277 “under all circumstances” we do not intend to intimate that there was anything like unfair conduct on the part of either suitors or counsel on either side (for none existed), but that substantial justice will be done more certainly by a new trial of the whole matter than by a partial new trial.
