Summary
In Johnston v. Bush, 57 N.Y. 633, the court was asked to charge that plaintiff to entitle him to a verdict must satisfy the jury to a moral certainty that the facts were as claimed by him. Held properly refused, the Court of Appeals saying: "That certainty of the facts which imports absolute truth and verity, and consequently admits of no degrees, `moral,' or otherwise, was not requisite."
