Pringle and others against Gaw.
    
      Tuesday, December 26.
    The judge before whom the cause was tried at Nisi Prius, having declared lhat, in his opinion, the verdict was greatly against the evidence and the justice of the case, the Court granted a new trial.
    THIS was an ejectment brought in this Court for eight inches of ground. The case before the jury turned entirely on matters of fact involving a question of boundary. The verdict was for the defendant, and the plaintiffs now moved for a new trial, on the ground that it was against the evidence and the charge of the Court.
