There is evidence tending to establish the contention of the defendant that the release was a fair and just settlement of the claim of the plaintiff, but we cannot say, after an inspection of the whole record, that there is no evidence, direct or circumstantial, of fraud or undue influence, and being of the opinion that there is some evidence fit to be considered by the jury, a new trial is ordered, without intimation or expression of opinion as to the weight of the evidence.
We refrain from discussing or setting out the different circumstances, because if we did so undue importance might be attached to those referred to, and the question ought to be tried before the jury free from any expression of opinion, real or apparent, by us.
A new trial is ordered.
New trial.
