1Opinion of the Court

BOHLING, Commissioner.

Mrs. Helen McFarland sued Leo R. Wild-haber, Jr., for personal injuries received when struck by his automobile. She asked $15,000 damages. The jury returned a verdict for $1,000. The court sustained plaintiff’s motion for new trial on the issue of damages only. Defendant has appealed and contends the court erred in overruling his motion for judgment in accordance with his motion for a directed verdict at. the close of the evidence (§§ 510.280 and 510.-290, RSMo 1949, V.A.M.S.), and abused its discretion in granting plaintiff a new trial limited to damages only.
