1Opinion of the CourtBunn, J.
This action was to recover damages sustained by the death of plaintiff’s intestate, alleged to have been caused by the negligence ■of defendant. Plaintiff had a verdict for $2,000. Defendant moved for judgment non obstante, which motion was denied. Judgment was entered upon the verdict and defendant appealed therefrom to ■this court.
