“Opinion by Chief Justice Stay ton: “It was not necessary that the evidence should have been sufficient to satisfy the jury of the facts, in order to entitle appellant to a verdict, for he would have been entitled to this if upon consideration of all the evidence the jury had been of the opinion that the facts necessary to a recovery by him were established by a preponderance of the evidence.”.”
