BROOKS v. HOWARD

Supreme Court of New Hampshire Cheshire.
Mar 1, 1877

The question, whether a new trial should be granted in a chancery suit, on the ground that by reason of newly discovered evidence a further hearing would be equitable, is a question of fact to be decided at the trial term.

DOE, C. J.

In cases like this, in Which there is no right of review, the practice of granting new trials is more liberal than in reviewable actions. Ordway v. Haynes, 47 N.H. 9. The question, whether a new trial should be granted on the ground that by reason of newly discovered evidence a further hearing would be equitable (Gen. St., c. 215, s. 5), is a question of fact to be decided at the trial term.

Case discharged.
