1 Denio 665

Brown v. Crim

Court for the Trial of Impeachments and Correction of Errors · decided 1845-12-15

Application on behalf of the defendant for a new trial, the action being ejectment, pursuant to 2 R. S. 309, § 37. The suit was commenced in the common pleas of Herkimer county, where the plaintiff had twice recovered verdicts and entered judgments, and upon each occasion the defendant had obtained a new trial under the statute. He then removed the cause here by certiorari, where the plaintiff obtained a third verdict, and entered judgment.

Decided 1845-12-15

By the Court, Jewett, J.

¶1The statute declares that no more than two new trials shall be granted under the provision *666referred to. I think the power is exhausted, and that the fact that the new trials already had were granted by the common pleas while the cause was pending there, does not create a distinction favorable to the defendant.

¶2Motion denied.
