Opinion

By the Court.

Lumpkin, J.,

delivering the opinion.

Are we constrained to reverse the judgment of the circuit judge setting aside the verdict of the jury, and ordering a new trial in this case ? So far from it, we concur with him in holding that the finding of the jury was strongly and decidedly against the weight of evidence, not only as to the amount of damages, but the right of the plaintiff to recover at all in this case.

Judgment affirmed.
