Description
SHACKLEFORD, J. -- Crystal River Lumber Company, a corporation, brought an action of trover against Dunnellon Phosphate Company, a corporation, whereby it was sought to recover damages for the conversion of chattels cut from standing trees which plaintiff claimed to own, on a large body of land which are described. The original declaration contained only one count, but it was amended so that it finally contained six counts, to which declaration the defendant filed a number of pleas, how many we are not informed, but by agreement of the respective counsel the case went to trial upon certain specified counts of the declaration and pleas.As one of such pleas was numbered twenty-five, we are warranted in assuming that at least twenty-five pleas were filed. A trial was had before a jury, which resulted in a verdict in favor of the defendant. Whereupon the plaintiff filed a motion for a new trial, which consisted of forty-eight grounds, the first two of which allege that such verdict is ""contrary to law and the charge of the court"" and ""contrary to the evidence, against the weight of the evidence, and is without sufficient evidence to support it,"" while the remaining forty-six grounds are based upon the giving of certain instructions at the request of the defendant and the giving of certain portion of the general charge and the refusal to give certain requested instructions by the plaintiff
