Counsel

For plaintiff: Cooney and Cahill., For defendant: Clifford Whipple and F. W. O’Connell.

Opinion of the Court

DECISION

DORAN, J.

If the jury believed the witness for plaintiff, one cannot say that liability is not supported by the weight of the evidence. But considering the nature of injuries claimed and some of the testimony concerning same, I do not believe the amount of damages awarded is supported by the weight'of evidence.

New trial granted unless plaintiff, within fifteen days of notice of this decision, remits all damages in excess of $1300.
