Appeal — New trial — Reasons — Justice.

Where the court below in granting a new trial states that it is "of opinion that a just disposition of the case requires that it be retried," the Supreme Court, on appeal, will not reverse the order granting a new trial.

Argued December 3, 1928.

PER CURIAM, January 7, 1929:

In its opinion granting a new trial, the court below stated: "We have reviewed and carefully considered all evidence and are of opinion that a just disposition of the case requires that it be retried." In Fertax Co. v. Spiegelman, 292 Pa. 139, 140, we very recently said that, where a trial court states in its opinion that "the interests of right and justice require that the case shall be retried __________ we do not interfere on appeal"; that authority rules this case.

The order appealed from is affirmed.
