Fred W. Wolf Co. v. Salt Lake City Brewing Co.

Utah Supreme Court
Fred W. Wolf Co. v. Salt Lake City Brewing Co., 10 Utah 179 (Utah 1894)
37 P. 262; 1894 Utah LEXIS 25
Mereitt, Minee, Smith

Fred W. Wolf Co. v. Salt Lake City Brewing Co.

Opinion of the Court

MeREITt, C. JV:

The appellant’s only point for setting aside the verdict and for reversal of the judgment in this case is that the verdict of the jury was concurred in by only nine of the jurors. The record presents only this question: Can nine concurring jurors render a verdict?” The legislature ■of Utah, on March 10, 1892, amended the jury law, and provided that in all civil cases a verdict may be rendered on the concurrence of nine or more members of the jury.” This statute has been held valid by^this court in the case of Hess v. White, 33 Pac. 243, and also by this court, at its present term, in the cases of Publishing Co. v. Fisher, ante, p. 147 (37 Pac. 259), and Tucker v. Salt Lake City, ante, p. 173 (37 Pac. 261). There being no other error assigned, the judgment of the court below is affirmed.

MiNEE and Smith, JJ., concur.
