<p>1. New trials—verdict contrary to evidence. Where the evidence of certain facts is indistinct and obscure, but is such that a jury may in reason find a verdict, whether it be for the plaintiff or defendant, courts are not inclined to disturb it.</p> <p>2.

Agistors op cattle—what degree of care required of them. Agistors of cattle are only bound to the exercise of ordinary care.</p>
