1Opinion of the Court
Bartci-i, J.:
This case was before us on a former occasion, and is reported in 13 Utah 275. It is an action for damages for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained because of the negligence of the defendant. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $7,500, and the court entered judgment for that sum. Afterwards, *335when the motion for a new trial was being decided, the-plaintiff, at the instance of the court, in order to avoid the granting of the motion, remitted a part of the judgment, so as to reduce it to $5,000, and judgment was then rendered accordingly.…
