Grubb's Lessee v. M'Clatchy
Tennessee Supreme Court
Grubb's Lessee v. M'Clatchy, 11 Tenn. 442 (Tenn. 1832)
Grubb's Lessee v. M'Clatchy
Opinion of the Court
The question of abandonment upon which this cause turns, is a question of fact for a jury. It is difficult to conceive terms in which the court could more folly and fairly have left this question to the jury, than those used by the judge in this cause; his charge was full, fair and explicit; and having thus fairly left the question to the jury, this court will not disturb their verdict, unless we believed there existed a greatprepon-derance of testimony against it. But we think the evidence in this cause well warranted the finding of the jury. Let the judgment be affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
