Opinion

In a negligence action to recover damages for personal injuries, defendant appeals from (1) a judgment of the Supreme Court, Dutchess County, entered November 4, 1970, in favor of plaintiffs against him upon a jury verdict of $18,500 for plaintiff Valerie Saenger and $121 for plaintiff Roland Saenger, and (2) an order of the same court, dated March 27, 1971, which denied defendant’s motion inter alia for a new trial upon the ground of newly discovered evidence.
