(No opinion). Strout, J.
On the general motion for q new trial !
We receive no cause for disturbing the |
'erdict for the plaintiff. Issues Of fact |
we're presented to the jury, with evil
lence pro and con. Upon that the jury |
49, J'''tAhSo III lHCli llIit1lS, DDlfI l
,pon the question of liability and |
mount OF damages. Upon the motion |
oundcd are newly discovered evidence |
The motion sets out three alleged |
acts as newly discovered:
LIST. That plaintiffs name was Jean
1ulholland, and not Jean Agnes Null
olland
I'd. That she was not born in Que
ec. as she testified.
Sd. That she was forty-five wears
f age, and not thirty-three as she tes-
flied.
The witnesses by whom these facts
'ere expected to be proved were stated
D be Mary Ann Shannahan and Mrs.
'ulsoln
The deposition of n. NJ. Coture is
reduced, but as he was not named as
nc of the witnesses in the motion. It
annot be considered. Mrs. Fulsom did |
OF testify. Mrs. Shannahan gave her
eposition. She says she attended |
chool in Quebec with Miss Mulhol-
md but does not state where she was
orn. She also states that at Oxford.
Iiss MulhOlland was sometimes called
-gnes. While the alleged discrepancy
S to the name is not material, the tes-
n1ony fails to sustain the allegation |
