Opinion of the Court

Calhoon, J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

It is overnervousness to see danger to the defendant in an instruction to the jury, in a personal injury case, that if they found for the plaintiff, they might assess such damages as they believed from the evidence he suffered, not to ■exceed the amount claimed in his declaration.
