Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The plainti~'s testimony is so contradicted by the documentary evidence, and the amount of the award seems so excessive, that it appears quite evident that the jury's verdict is not founded upon a proper consideration of the evidence, but is based on mistake or bias. Judgment is therefore reversed, and a new trial ordered, with costs to appellant to abide the event.
