Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS (BY THE COURT).</p> <p>1. Ordinarily neither the verdict of a jury nor the finding of fact of a trial court will be disturbed in this court when they are supported by any substantial evidence.</p> <p>2. Where a party complains of an alleged erroneous decision of the court trying the cause, either in the exclusion or admission of evidence, he must point out in his motion for a new trial with reasonable certainty the particular evidence admitted or excluded; otherwise the court below need not, and the Supreme Court will not, consider such alleged' erroneous decision.</p> <p>3. The correctness of instructions given by the trial court will not be reviewed by the Supreme Court, unless objection is interposed to the giving of such instruction, and' an exception saved.</p>
