Syllabus

<p>Practice, C. P. — New trial — Discretion—Avoidance of injustice —Review—Supreme Court.</p> <p>The appellate court will not review the discretion of the trial court in granting a new trial, where it appears that the court granted the new trial because it was of the opinion, from the admitted facts before it, that an injustice had plainly been done the plaintiff; although it was also of the opinion that on the case presented, its action in directing a verdict for the defendant was clearly right, and that no valid legal reasons were produced for granting a new trial.</p>
