1 Root 194 | Conn. Super. Ct. | 1790
The court find the facts to be proved, by inquiry of the jurors; and arrest the verdict, upon the principle that in trials nothing is to be left to hazard or chance. The case of Henshaw v. Thompson, adjudged Hartford adjourned Superior Court, December A. D. 1777, is in point; which, was an action of the case, and verdict for plaintiff for £30 10s. 8d. damages. This judgment was arrested, because the jury took the same method to ascertain the damages.
