Preston v. Insurance Co.

Supreme Court of New Hampshire Strafford
Jun 1, 1879
59 N.H. 49 (N.H. 1879)

Opinion

Decided June, 1879.

A motion for a rehearing of a question of law, after decision, is not seasonably made when there has been a trial of the facts since the decision.

MOTION for a rehearing.

Hobbs, for the defendants.

Copeland, for the plaintiff.


The defendants' objections are, in effect, a motion for a rehearing of the first question decided in this case at the March term, 1877 ( 58 N.H. 76). As there has been a jury trial of the case since that time, the motion is not seasonably made. Bell v. Lamprey, 58 N.H. 124; Ashuelot R. R. v. Elliot, 58 N.H. 451, 452.

Objections overruled.

CLARK, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
