115 A. 177
Supreme Court of New Hampshire Coos.
Decided October 4, 1921.
CASE, for alienating the affections of the plaintiff’s wife. Trial by jury and verdict for the plaintiff. The defendant’s motions for nonsuit and directed verdict were denied, subject to exception. The defendant also excepted to the admission of evidence and to argument of counsel. Transferred from the September term, 1920, of the superior court by Marble, J.
Sullivan Daley and Ira W. Thayer (Mr. Thayer orally), for the plaintiff.
Matthew J. Ryan and Frank P. Blais (Mr. Blais orally), for the defendant.
Per Curiam.
The evidence authorized the submission of the case to the jury. The evidence first excepted to tended to discredit the testimony of one of the defendant’s witnesses. The admission of evidence not strictly rebutting, but otherwise competent, is not error of law. The other evidence excepted to had a tendency to rebut a witness of the defendant, and furthermore it was competent in mitigation of damages. The remarks of counsel in argument, to which exceptions were taken, were justified by the evidence.
Exceptions overruled.
