Arnold v. Harte

9 P.2d 664 | Kan. | 1932

Per Curiam:

This is an action in replevin. The jury answered special questions and returned a verdict for defendant. Plaintiff *143moved for a new trial for the reasons, among others, of erroneous ruling and instructions; that the verdict and answers to special questions were given under the influence of passion and prejudice, and are contrary to the evidence and to the law. On the hearing of the motion the court found that the “motion for a new trial is well taken; that said verdict and the answers to the special questions . . . are contrary to the evidence; that by reason thereof said motion for a new trial should be and the same hereby is sustained.” The court ordered “that ... a new trial be granted and that the said new trial be general upon the issues, . . .”

Defendant has appealed from the order granting the new trial. The appeal presents- no question for review in this court. It is therefore dismissed.
