Zimmerman v. Owens
| Decision Date | 31 October 1856 |
| Citation | 24 Mo. 97 |
| Parties | ZIMMERMAN et al., Respondents, v. OWENS, Appellant. |
| Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
1. The Supreme Court will not interfere with the verdicts of juries on the ground that they are against the weight of evidence.
Appeal from St. Louis Law Commissioner's Court.
I. Z. Smith, for appellant.
S. H. Gardner, for respondents.
The defendant had the benefit of all the instructions he asked. There was no other point of law made in the case. This court does not interfere with the verdict of juries on the ground that they are against the weight of evidence. Here there was evidence on both sides. It does not, moreover, appear from the bill of exceptions that all the evidence is embodied in it.
The point made, if there is any force in it, that one of the jurors was a non-resident of the state, is unsupported by any evidence whatever.
The other judges concurring, the judgment is affirmed.
