U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Southern New York May 28, 1892 (Russell v. Bradley)

Shipman, District Judge.

This is a motion by the defendant for a new trial in the above-entitled action, for malicious prosecution, upon the grounds that the verdict of $12,500 for the plaintiff was contrary to the evidence and contrary to law; that the damages were excessive; and that sundry exceptions to the rulings of the court upon objection to the testimony were well taken.
