        "text": "Mr Justice Haepee\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\nAt the September term of the circuit court of Green county, 1865, two indictments were found \u00e1gainst the appellee for vending ardent spirits in less quantities than one quart without license. The one, on which this appeal is taken, was against David Crytes alone: the other against David Crytes and one John Crytes, both charging the same character of an offence, but fixing the times, the one in July 1865, the other in September, 1865. It appears from the record that a trial was first had upon the indictment against David Crytes, the appellee, and John Crytes, and that the appellee was acquitted. On the trial of this cause, the aforesaid acquittal was plead in bar, as also the plea o\u00ed \u201c not guiltyand the only question appearing from the record was, whether the acquittal in the c\u00e1se of the State vs. David Crytes, the appellee, and John Crytes, was for the same offence charged in the indictment in this case.\n' On this question, the evidence strongly indicates that two separate offences were contemplated in the two indictments, on which two convictions might have been properly had against the appel-lee, on sufficient proof. It was for the jury to ascertain and determine the question of fact involved, from the testimony ; and' it cannot be said that the evidence in the record precludes the possibility that the offence for which appellee had been acquitted was the same charged against him in this case. The jury evidently took that view of the testimony, and found their verdict of \u201cnot guilty,\u201d on that conclusion. The usual judgment was rendered and the states\u2019 attorney asked for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was contrary both to law and evidence, which the court refused.\nThe error assigned is, that the court erred in refusing to grant a new trial.\nNew trials are usually granted where manifest injustice has been done, and reasonable probability exists that, in another trial, the result would be changed.\nThough in the opinion of this court the weight of evidence be against the conclusion of the jury, it does not follow that there was error in refusing to grant the new trial by the court below. - In the case of Lindsay vs. Wayland, 17 Ark., 385, it is held that the verdict of a jury when not totally unsupported by evidence, even though the weight of evidence is against the verdict, will not be disturbed by the court.\nHolding this decision to be the correct rule, this court think there is no error in the proceedings and j udgment of the court be'low; and the same is affirmed.",
