Opinion
John Green, Respondent, v. Laban B. Fortier, Appellant.
(Submitted February 5, 1880;
decided February 24, 1880.)
No exceptions were taken in this case on the trial, and the only question presented at General Term and here was that the verdict was against the weight of-evidence.
The court states the rule as “well settled, that where the evidence upon a question of fact is conflicting, it is not the subject of review in this court, and if follows that a judgment cannot be reversed on the ground stated.”
Davis, Clinton & Davis for appellant.
Williams & Potter for respondent.
