A. L. & J. D. Lanier vs. Tullis.
    The court below is invested with discretion to grant or refuse a new trial, on the ground that the verdict is decidedly and strongly against the weight of the evidence, although there may be some slight evidence to support it; but such discretion is not given to this court, and if there is sufficient evidence to support the verdict, the refusal of the court below to grant a new trial on that ground will not be controlled. Code, §3717.
    Judgment affirmed.
    April 15, 1884.
   Jackson, Chief Justice.
