145 A. 64 | Pa. | 1928
Argued December 7, 1928. Plaintiff sued to recover for personal injuries alleged to be due to the negligence of defendant; the jury found for the latter; the court below granted a new trial; defendant has appealed.
In its opinion, the court below states two reasons for awarding a new trial. Appellant argues that neither of these reasons warrants the order appealed from; but, in several recent cases, we have said that, when a new trial is directed, unless the order to that effect is accompanied by a statement that the reasons expressed are the only ones which moved the court to grant it, we assume that the trial tribunal did not abuse the very broad discretion with which it is vested in such instances, and therefore will not review the order.
In Grossman v. Bessemer L. E. R. R.,
The order appealed from is affirmed.
