Hanforth v. Tarentum Traction Passenger Railway Co.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided January 2, 1906 · Brown, Elkin, Fell, Jam, Mestrezat, Mitchell, Potter, Stewart
213 Pa. 365; 62 A. 1060; 1906 Pa. LEXIS 486

Hanforth v. Tarentum Traction Passenger Railway Co.

Opinion of the Court

Pee Cue jam,

The charge that the plaintiff had willfully misled the jury as to the character and extent of her injuries raised only a question of fact. The affidavit of one of the jury, though tending strongly to establish the charge, was nevertheless only evidence addressed to the discretion of the judge on the motion for a new trial. We see no ground to interfere with his action.

Judgment affirmed.
