¶1The opinion of the Court was delivered by
¶2*338There does not appear to be any reasonable ground for a new trial in this case. It presented ° … a single question of fact, which was proper for consideration of the Jury, and the Court will not set aside a verdict unless there appears a great preponderance of evidence against it.
