177 N.W. 761 | S.D. | 1920
Lead Opinion
Action to recover for keeping and feeding stock of defendant at the stockyards of plaintiff at Sioux Falls. Trial iby the court and findings and judgment for plaintiff, from ■which defendant appeals.
The judgment and order appealed from are reversed, and the cause remanded for new trial.
Dissenting Opinion
(dissenting.) The record herein does not, to my mind, present a case of “newly discovered evidence” relating to what took place at the time of the making of the alleged contract, but a case where a known witness was not present at the trial and no motion for continuance was presented. This fact brings this case directly under the rulings of this court in State v. Barnes, 26 S. D. 622, 129 N. W. 116, and State v Gregory, 31 S. D. 425, 141 N. W. 365.
