Peckham v. Armstrong ( 1898 )

The court is of opinion that, under the rule laid down inSilver Spring Bleaching and Dyeing Co. v. Woolworth,16 R.I. 729, the verdict is conclusive if reconcilable with the evidence. Under this rule, the burden would be upon the party objecting to the entry of the decree upon the issues found to satisfy the court that the findings of the jury were against the evidence. Nothing of this kind is shown, and consequently, the complainant is entitled to the entry of his decree.
