Motion by the plaintiff, the appellant, to remand to the -district court to enable him to renevi a motion for a new ‍​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‍trial upon the ground of new evidence discovered since the appeal.

This court has jurisdiction to remand a case to enable the appellant to renew his motion for a new trial upon the ground of newly discovered evidence arising since the appeal. Kroning v. St. Paul City ‍​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‍Ry. Co. 96 Minn. 128, 104 N. W. 888.

In determining whether a motion to remand should be granted we are limited to an inquiry whether the showing made is such that the moving party -should have the opportunity to present his motion to the trial court. Upon an ‍​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‍examination of the affidavits we are of the opinion that- the appellant has made such showing. We do not consider the merits. The granting of the motion is not a suggestion of what result should follow. The trial court will proceed as in ordinary cases and under ‍​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‍rules which are well understood.

It is ordered that the case be remanded to the district court to enable the appellant to renew his motion for a new trial upon the ground of newly-discovered evidence. If the motion is granted the remand will be absolute. If denied ‍​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‍the proceedings will be certified to this court ;as a part of the return. All proceedings will be conducted without unnecessary delay.

Motion granted.
