APRIL, 1802.
Bolan v. Peeples.
-A verdict will not be set aside for misdirection, if, upon the whole, justice has been done, and no useful end can be answered by granting a ngw trial.
Motion for anew trial,by the plaintiff.

Opinion:
Per curiam.
Although in this case, one exception taken to the charge of the judge to tbq jury, on the trial, is well grounded, and the judge was mistaken in $he direction he gave upon that point; yet as justice, upon the. whole, appears to have been done in the case ; and as it further more appears, that the action is not maintainable on the ground stated >n fhe declaration, and that it could not answer any useful end to grant a new trial; let the motion be discharged, and the defendant at liberty to enter up his judgment, 2 Burr. 665. 1 Wils. 22. 2 Bl.
