¶1 In cases like this, in which there is no right of review, the practice of granting new trials is more liberal than in reviewable actions. Ordway v. Haynes, 47 N. H. 9. The question, whether a new trial should be granted on the ground that by reason of newly discovered evidence a further hearing would be equitable (Gen.

¶2 Case discharged.
