Clark v. His Creditors

Supreme Court of California
Apr 1, 1881

         OPINION

         The Court:

         Appellant says, first, that the jury were guilty of misconduct; second, that the evidence did not justify the verdict; third, that error occurred in the giving of instructions.

         1. There was no evidence of misconduct in the jury-room, other than the affidavit of jurors. A juror cannot impeach his own verdict. (Polhemus v. Heiman , 50 Cal. 433, 441.)

         2. There was a substantial conflict in the testimony.

         3. The instructions were not excepted to.

         Judgment and order affirmed.
