Syllabus

<p>New Trial. — If tbe motion for a new trial intelligently refers tbe court to prior exceptions, it is tbe duty of tbe court to investigate them.</p> <p>Idem. — On tbe bearing of a motion for a new trial on tbe ground that tbe verdict was not sustained by sufficient evidence, it must appear either that there was a conflict of evidence and that tbe verdict was against tbe weight of evidence, or that tbe case went to tbe jury on evidence insufficient to establish a prima facie case for tbe plaintiff.</p> <p>Married Women. — Where there was evidence tending to show that tbe defendant was a married woman at tbe commencement of tbe suit, but it did not appear nor was there evidence tending to show that she was a married woman at tbe time of sale to her of certain goods for which she was sued alone, Held, that at tbe common law she being under coverture at tbe time suit was brought, her husband was a necessary co-defendant, and that tbe act of December 4, 1869, entitled, “An act for tbe protection of married women,” could not apply, nor its effect be considered.</p>
