Drislane v. Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, Appellant.

Appeals β€” Assignment of error β€” Refusal of new trial.

Where an appellant assigns as the only error the refusal of the court below to grant a new trial, he concedes that the case was for the jury, and with no assignment complaining of any ruling of the trial judge, or of his charge to the jury, the appellate court can do nothing but dismiss the appeal.

Argued March 11, 1912.

April 8, 1912:

Per Curiam,

The only assignment of error on this appeal is that the court erred in refusing to grant a new trial. This concedes that the case was for the jury, and, with no assignment complaining of any ruling of the trial judge, or of his charge to the jury, we can do nothing but dismiss the appeal.

Judgment affirmed.
