The plaintiff George William Stewart appeals an order granting a new trial after jury verdict against the defendant, Standard Oil Company of Kentucky, and Jack Patrick Byrd.

A motion for new trial should be granted only in the exercise of the sound, considered discretion of the trial court, and when granted should not be disturbed unless there is a clear showing that such authority has been abused. Cloud v. Fallis, Fla. 1959, 110 So.2d 669. A careful consideration of the record before the court, and the briefs of counsel reveal no showing of abuse of discretion by the trial court.

Affirmed.
