Opinion of the Court
(after stating the facts.) The jury found by their verdict for the plaintiff that the defendant had made a wrongful and unlawful assault upon, and had beaten, the plaintiff, which there was ample testimony to support. But they assessed only one dollar damages, while the evidence is unquestioned that the damages suffered by the plaintiff by reason of his injury amounted to a very much larger sum. To suffer such a verdict as to the damages to stand would be a travesty upon justice. It is evident that the motion for a new trial in the circuit court ought to have been granted. For refusal to grant said motion, the judgment is reversed, and the cause is remanded for a new trial.
