Opinion:
By the Court, Sutherland, J.
On a motion of this kind, the nisi prius record and postea must be produced, so that the court may be enabled to judge whether the party is entitled to his judgment, notwithstanding the verdict. It is irregular to apply on affidavit. The motion is denied, with costs.
