SIMPSON, Justice.

This petition for certiorari to the Court of Appeals seeks a review ‍​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‍and revision of that court’s opinion and judgment reversing the judgment below on the ground that “the evidence is so overwhelmingly against the verdict ‍​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‍of the jury that it would be unjust and wrong to let it stand.” The petition is *565not well taken. This conclusion is but a finding ‍​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‍of fact. Under well-recognized and long-established principles of review consistently adhered to by this court, we accept that conclusion without going to the record to ‍​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‍determine its correctness, of consequence of which it is not subject to revision.
