Gay vs. Parker.
    [Jackson, C. J., did not preside, on account of providential canse.]
    This court has no discretion to grant new trials, but such discretion is vested in the judges of the superior courts. Where there is no evidence to sustain the verdict, the law demands a new trial, and this court will declare the law. But if there is any evidence to sustain the verdict, the motion for new trial on that ground is addressed to the discretion of the court below, and this court will not interfere.
    Judgment affirmed.
    October 2, 1884.
   Blandford, Justice.
