— Ealey White brought an action against N. Goldring in which he sought to recover damages for personal injuries alleged to have been occasioned by the negligence of the defendant in running against him, the plaintiff, and striking him with his automibile, which was being operated by the defendant in a street in the City of Pensacola, Florida. Ro point is made on the pleadings. The plaintiff laid his damages at $10,000.00 and recovered a judgment for $250.00, which the defendant has brought here for review by writ of error.
The principle assignments urged before us is the overruling of the motion for a new trial, which questions the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict. We do not think that this assignment has been sustained. See
