Brown v. Mass. M. L. Ins. Co.

Supreme Court of New Hampshire
Brown v. Mass. M. L. Ins. Co., 60 N.H. 195 (N.H. 1880)
Foster, Allen, Blodgett

Brown v. Mass. M. L. Ins. Co.

Opinion of the Court

Foster, J.

The plaintiff had a verdict, which was set aside because a motion made at the trial should have been granted. There was a want of certain evidence on the part of the plaintiff, but this evidence he may be able to produce at another trial. He claims a new trial, and the defendants claim a judgment. There might be a reason for requiring a party to produce all his evidence at the first trial, and there might be a reason for giving him another opportunity. In this case, if the motion for a nonsuit had been sustained at the trial, a motion by the plaintiff for leave to supply the defect in his evidence might have been granted; and there does not appear to be sufficient cause for giving the defendant judgment.

Case discharged.

Allen and Blodgett, JJ., concurred: the others did not sit.
