Lorenz v. Farer Transportation Co.

On the record before us, we find the verdict excessive. Accordingly, the judgment is unanimously reversed on the facts and in the exercise of discretion, with costs to defendants-appellants to abide the event, and a new trial ordered unless plaintiff-respondent stipulates to reduce the verdict to the sum of $23,000, in which event the judgment as so modified is .affirmed, without costs to either side. Settle order. Concur — Breitel, J. P., Rabin, Frank, McNally and Stevens, JJ.
