Gunn v. Union Railroad Company

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

(1) The plaintiff’s petition for a new trial, on his motion made for a second tifhe in the Common Pleas Division for judgment on the verdict, is not properly before the court. .In this case — 23 R. I. 289 — the same ■ question was heard and determined by the full court, in which the court decided: “The plaintiff’s motion that this Division dismiss the defendant’s petition for a new trial and direct the Common Pleas Division to enter judgment on the verdict of the jury in this action, is denied.”

*175 Charles E. Gorman, for plaintiff. David S. Baker, for defendant.

This very question, having been once heard and determined, cannot be brought a second time as a ground for a new trial. Petition dismissed.
