McNeill v. Ross
McNeill v. Ross
Opinion of the Court
The action was brought to recover a balance claimed by the plaintiff to be due him from the defendant for cutting and putting into a certain stream the pine timber theretofore standing and being upon a specified forty-acre lot.
We are asked to reverse the judgment on the sole ground that “the verdict is utterly unsupported by the evidence.” From the foregoing statement of the evidence, it is' certain that the ground is untenable. The plaintiff’s testimony alone would prevent a reversal for that reason. Had his testimony been the only evidence in the case, the present judgment would have been inevitable. In a case like this we cannot disturb a judgment rendered pursuant to the verdict of a jury, even though we may think the testimony preponderates against the verdict.
By the Gourt.— Judgment affirmed.
