1Opinion of the CourtHarrison, J.
Proceedings to condemn certain lands for a public street in the city of San Luis Obispo. The jury assessed the value of the land taken from the defendants at $6,500. The plaintiff moved for a new trial, upon the ground that the verdict was not sustained by the evidence. The court below was of this opinion, but held that the evidence would support a verdict for $5,000, and made an order that if the defendants would remit $1,500 a new trial should be denied. The defendants having remitted that amount, the court denied a new trial, and the plaintiff has appealed.
