California Court of Appeal
The facts are stated in the opinion of the court. Charles W. Slack, A. M. Seymour, and W. H. Carlin, for Appellant.
1Opinion of the CourtHart, J.
This is an action by the plaintiff to recover the sum of ten thousand dollars as damages for personal injuries. The jury, before whom the cause was tried, returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the sum of six hundred dollars.
