Syllabus

<p>Where the son of the defendant had been killed, and the father retained counsel to aid in the prosecution, he is liable for the value of the services. (Paschal’s Dig., Art. 272, Note 271.)</p> <p>Where the verdict was against the evidence, a new trial should have been granted. (Paschal’s Dig., Art. 1470, Note 566.)</p> <p>Where a witness has been examined on interrogatories, and his answer is not responsive, but altogether hypothetical, such answer should be excluded; but this does not exclude the whole evidence of the witness. (Paschal’s Dig., Art. 3728.)</p> <p>The opposite party may file cross-interrogatories at any time before a commission is sued out, but not afterwards. (Paschal’s Dig., Art. 3726, Note 845.)</p>
