Syllabus

<p>Trial — Instructions—Comment on Facts — Eminent Domain. In. a condemnation proceeding, instructions are not an unlawful comment on the evidence by reason of clauses as to the “special benefits that will accrue to the property” “if you think the conditions that exist.........aré unsettled,” where they had reference to instructions already given in that connection, and did not assume that there would be any such benefits, but plainly left it to the jury to determine.</p> <p>New Trial — Grounds—Conflicting Evidence. Refusal to grant a new trial because the verdict was contrary to the evidence, is not error where the evidence was conflicting.</p>
