1. ““Th'en, finding as we do that the motion for new trial itself, in this cause, was not verified by the applicant, we are of tbe opinion that the court committed reversible error in not striking the same as requested in defendant’s motion, and we are clearly of the opinion that the solemn verdict of the jury arrived at under the circumstances, as presented by tbis record, should not be lightly set aside, but should be sustained, and tbe rights of the successful parties be protected unless tbe same may be set aside under tbe law and under the forms of law as prescribed by our statute, and as interpreted by this court in tbe opinions cited and quoted from in tbis opinion.””
