Action of trial court in granting new trial because of excessive verdict held not to be disturbed.-Morrell v. Lawrence (Mo. Sup.) 571. § 2. Grounds. *A new trial will not be granted on discovered evidence which is merely cumulative.-Cahill v. Mullins (Ky.) 336. *Where the mistake of a jury in rendering an excessive verdict can be harmonized with an honest regard for duty and with a proper comprehension of most of the salient facts in evidence, the court did not abuse its discretion in denying a new trial on the ground that the verdict was the result of passion or prejudice. -McGraw v. O'Neil (Mo. App.) 132. *The fact that plaintiff, a very affable and sociable gentleman, during the recesses of the court, joined in general conversation with the jurors, and laughed at their jokes, was insufficient to warrant the granting of a new trial, where no design to bias or influence any of the jurors was shown.-McGraw v. O'Neil (Mo. App.) 132. *A motion for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence held such that it would be denied.-Neal v. Whitlock (Tex. Civ. App.) 284. *Newly discovered evidence held not such as to require giving of new trial.-Western Union Telegraph Co. v. Hardison (Tex. Civ. App.) 541. *That newly discovered evidence would be cumulative is not of itself an insuperable reason for refusing a new trial.-El Paso & Southwestern R. Co. v. Barrett (Tex. Civ. App.) 1025. *Testimony held not newly discovered entitling defendant to a new trial on that ground.El Paso & Southwestern R. Co. v. Barrett (Tex. Civ. App.) 1025. 3. Proceedings to procure new trial. A party seeking a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence must make it clear that, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, he could not have discovered and produced the evidence on the trial.-Cahill v. Mullins (Ky.) 336. *Allegation as to diligence exercised to discover evidence previous to trial held insufficient.-Burgess v. Grief (Ky.) 984. NEXT OF KIN. See "Descent and Distribution."

Where an original contract of employment was void under the statute of frauds, a new contract subsequently executed, which obviated such defect, did not constitute a novation.-San Antonio Light Pub. Co. v. Moore (Tex. Civ. App.) 867. NUISANCE. Accrual of right of action, see "Limitation of Actions," § 2. 1. Public nuisances. A railroad company held not responsible for a public nuisance caused by an embankment built by another, in order to make a connection between his switch and their tracks, since under Const. § 216, they had no control over his acts.-Louisville & N. R. Co. v. Commonwealth (Ky.) 382. Where a railroad company quartered laborers on its right of way, who disturbed the peace of the neighborhood, it may be convicted of having suffered a common nuisance on its premises. -Southern Ry.
