Instructions not based upon the evidence in the case, and which were calculated to mislead the jury, constitute good grounds upon which to award a new trial.</p> <p>2. Same—nerfiiet against the evidence. Anew trial will be granted where the verdict of the jury shows a wanton disregard of the evidence.</p>
