Order setting aside verdict and granting new trial upon the ground that the verdict was contrary to the evidence, unammously affirmed, costs to abide the event. There was a clear-cut question of fact presented on the evidence in this case; still we are loath to interfere with the order of the learned trial justice who saw and heard the witnesses, and who directed a new trial, being convinced that the verdict was contrary to the evidence and that it registered a miscarriage of justice.
