Description
Defendant appeals from an order granting plaintiff a new trial. In a personal injury action based on negligence the case was submitted to the jury at 12:53 p.m. on November 1, 1951, with
the instruction that if the jurors agreed on a verdict after the court had adjourned they were to return a sealed verdict
when court convened on the following day. At 7:15 p.m. the jury agreed on a verdict which was then sealed, and the jury separated
for the night. The following morning one of the jurors came into the trial judge's chambers before the opening of court and
informed the trial judge that she was confused as to her verdict. The trial judge told the juror that he did not want to discuss
the matter with her and that it would be taken up when court convened. The attorneys in the case were promptly informed of
this fact, and, at a conference in his chambers, the trial judge informed them that he proposed to have the jury polled. Counsel
for both parties consented to this procedure.
