46 Minn. 182

Grommes v. Shute

Supreme Court of Minnesota

Decided May 12, 1891

Supreme Court of Minnesota · decided 1891-05-12

Appeal by plaintiffs from an order of the district court for Ramsey county, Brill, J., presiding, setting asidé, as against evidence, a verdict in their favor of $460.92, and granting a new trial.

Relies on Wood v. Cullen

Decided 1891-05-12

Mitchell, J.

¶1Under the rule laid down in Hicks v. Stone, 13 Minn. 398, (434,) which has been always, inflexibly adhered to and applied by this court, there is no ground for interfering with the action of the trial court in granting a new trial in this case. An examination of the record not only fails to satisfy us that the preponderance of the evidence was manifestly and palpably in favor of the verdict, but, on the contrary, convinces us that the discretion of the trial court was wisely exercised.

¶2Order affirmed.
