PHEBE A. H. DARBEE, Respondent, v. ALEXANDER ELWOOD and others, Appellants.
    
      Newly discovered evidence—who trial—when granted on account of.
    
    In this case a motion for a new trial, on the ground of newly discovered evidence, was denied, for the reason that the evidence, so discovered, did not fulfill the ' requirements of the rule applicable in such cases, viz.: that it should be so decisive in character, as that, to a reasonable certainty, it would be productive on another trial of an opposite result.
    
    Appeal from an order denying a motion for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence.
    
      Wm. Youmans, Jr., for the appellants.
    
      Wm. Gleason, for the respondent.
