Description
The plaintiff brought this action
            to recover money paid to the defendant in
            satisfaction of a promissory note. Her
            complaint alleged, in the first count, that
            the note was obtained from her by the fraud and
            misrepresentation of the defendant, and, in the
            second count, that she had executed and paid
            the note under the mistaken belief that she was
            indebted to the defendant. The trial court
            instructed the jury to disregard the second count
            and submitted the case to them on the first count
            only. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the
            defendant, and the plaintiff has appealed from the
            judgment rendered thereon. She claims error in the
            denial of her motion to set aside the verdict, in
            the charge, in rulings on evidence, and in the
            refusal to correct the finding.   We shall consider first the denial of the motion
            to set aside the verdict on the first count. It is
            obvious by their verdict that the jury refused to
            accept the evidence of the plaintiff as
            establishing the fraud upon which she relied. It
            is only in the most unusual circumstances that
            we will find error in the refusal of the trial
            court to set aside a verdict for the defendant,
            since it is almost impossible to determine
