1Opinion of the CourtStone, J.
This is an action on the case for libel, in which the plaintiff recovered a verdict for $1,500, of which $500 was for damages to the plaintiff’s feelings, and $1,000 for damages to plaintiff’s reputation.
There was a motion by defendant for a new trial, one ground of which was that the verdict was excessive. The motion was denied by the circuit judge, who stated in his reasons filed that in his opinion the verdict was not excessive in amount. This refusal was duly excepted to by the defendant. Upon a judgment having been entered for the plaintiff, the defendant has brought error.
