Barge v. Irwin

Opinion of the Court

Russell, J.

A verdict for the plaintiff was authorized, under the law and the evidence; but the amount of the jury’s finding was greater than authorized by the evidence, there being no evidence to authorize 'the recovery of exemplary damages. It is, therefore, ordered that the judgment be affirmed, on condition that the defendant in error reduce the judgment in her favor to the sum of $7.32, the actual damages shown. Upon failure to do this the judgment refusing a new trial is

Reversed.
