Opinion

Per Curiam.

The plaintiff may state, in his declaration, his damages to any amount he pleases ; and he is the best judge of them. It would be error to enter up judgment on the verdict as it stands, and the plaintiff cannot have judgment, unless he enters a remittitur for the damages over and above the amount laid in the declaration. We have no power to allow the amendment.

Motion denied.
