Syllabus

<p>1. Appellate Proceedings—New Trial.—Every reasonable presumption is made in support of a verdict fairly rendered, which cannot be set aside as against the evidence, unless the evidence is plainly insufficient to warrant the finding. Blair & Hoge v. Wilson, 28 Gratt. 165.</p> <p>2. Idem—Idem—Certificate of Evidence.—Where the evidencé, and not facts proved, is certified, the verdict will not be disturbed, unless it appears plainly wrong after rejecting all the exceptor’s parol evidence, and giving full faith to that of the other party.</p>
