““It may be that if we were to usurp the functions of the jury, and determine the weight to be given to the evidence, we might arrive at a different conclusion. But that is not our province, on a writ of error. In such a, case we are confined to the consideration of exceptions taken at the trial, to the admission or rejection of evidence, and to the charge of the court, and its refusal to charge. We have no concern with questions of fact, or to the weight to be given to evidence which was properly admitted.””
