The defendant denied having ever made such promise. The issue here presented is one of fact. The question is not if we would have found, had the cause been submitted to us, as did the jury in the court below, but is the evidence such that we ought to set aside the verdict and judgment rendered in the Superior Court ? We do not feel that we would be justified in so doing.\nThe judgment of the Superior Court is therefore affirmed.",
