Penobscot, SIS.
Alphon o $. Rand vs. Henry ". Eaton.
Rescript. mo opinion.) Savage, j.
This case has been BEFORE this court on
a similar motion once before, and after
a careful examination of the testimony,
the court became satisfied that the YER
dict for the plaintiff was clearly wrong
for reasons which were briefly and tersely
stated in the rescript. The testimony in
the latter trial was substantially the
same as that which we have once before
considered, and we see no sufficient rea-
son to modify or reverse the conclusion
at which the court arrived when the case
was presented upon the former molten.
Cur attention has not been called to
any new evidence which would justify
y different conclusion. We are not I'M
mindful of the fact that two juries have
given. verdict for the plaintiff. Still
our duty is none the less imperative,
when we are satisfied we are, thhat the
verdict is entirely wrong.
Motion sustained. New trial granted.
