Syllabus

<p>Trial — Verdict. The verdict of a jury cannot be assailed on the ground that juries are inclined to be prejudiced in cases between individuals and corporations.</p> <p>Evidence — Experts. Hypothetical questions may properly be based upon the testimony of the party proposing them.</p> <p>Trial — Misconduct of Attorney. It is prejudicial error for counsel to comment in argument to the jury upon matters eliminated from the trial by the rulings of the court, where such argument was duly objected to at the time, with request that it be withdrawn from the jury, and where the court refused such request and subsequently refused to give properly requested instructions to disregard the same.</p>
