• 41 Ill. 234

Syllabus

<p>1. New trials — verdict against the evidence. A verdict will not be set aside where there is a contrariety of evidence on both sides, and the facts and circumstances, by a fair and reasonable intendment, will warrant the inference of the jury, notwithstanding it may appear to be against the strength and weight of the testimony.</p> <p>2. Upon a slight preponderance of evidence against a verdict, the court will not disturb it.</p> <p>8. Where the evidence has been fairly presented to the jury, and they have passed upon it, although it may not be entirely free from doubt, their verdict will not be disturbed unless it is clearly against the weight of evidence.</p> <p>4. A verdict will not be disturbed unless it is clearly wrong.</p>
