. If the jury do not, in a special verdict, pronounce
affirmatively or negatively on the facts necessary to enable the
court to give judgment, or if they find the evidence of facts merely,
and not the conclusions of fact, from the evidence, as established
to their satisfaction, the court shall direct the jury to retire and
return another special verdict. The court may explain to the jury the
defect or insufficiency in the special verdict returned, and the
form which the special verdict to be returned must take.
