Conradt v. Sixbee

Wisconsin Supreme Court
Conradt v. Sixbee, 21 Wis. 383 (Wis. 1867)
Cole, Dixon

Conradt v. Sixbee

Opinion of the Court

Cole, J.

It is familiar doctrine that motions for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence are received with caution. And when such newly discovered evidence consists, as in this case, of admissions or declarations of a party, there should be a reasonable probability that such evidence would produce a different verdict, before a new trial should be granted. In view of all the facts of this case, we do not think it proba*385ble that a different result would be obtained if another trial should be had. 5 S. & R., 41; 6 Greenl., 479; 6 Pick., 114.

By the Court. — The order of the circuit court is affirmed.

Dixon, C. J., dissents.
