Syllabus

<p>Practice, C. P. — Trial—Improper remark of counsel.</p> <p>1. The appellate court will not reverse a judgment entered on a verdict after a fair and orderly trial on the merits, by reason of a refusal of the court below to withdraw a juror because plaintiff's counsel had stated in reference to the defendant that “everybody has to sue this man,” where it appears that the trial judge fully and carefully instructed the jury entirely to disregard the remark.</p> <p>Appeals — Allowance of credit on judgment — Amount of judgment— Modification of judgment.</p> <p>2. Where the appellate court has rendered a decision reversing a judgment for plaintiff on a verdict for $1,384, and subsequently at the hearing of a rule to reconsider, the plaintiff agrees, in order to prevent further delay, to the entry of a credit on the judgment of the sum of $279, the appellate court will modify the judgment, by consent of counsel, and enter such credit.</p>
