Phillips v. Granger

134 Mass. 475 | Mass. | 1883

By the Court.

It was within the discretion of the Superior Court to set aside the verdict rendered for the defendants. The court had no power to change the verdict for the defendants into a verdict for the plaintiff, even before it was set aside. After it was set aside, it certainly had no power to order a verdict to be entered for the plaintiff.

The motion of the defendants was rightly denied.

Exceptions overruled, with double costs.
