Statement of the Case.
MONROE, J.
The plaintiff sues to recover damages for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained by him through the negligence of the defendant. The answer is a general denial, coupled with an averment that the accident by which the plaintiff claims to have been injured was caused solely by his own negligence. The case was tried without a jury, and there was judgment for the plaintiff in the sum of $1,000, from which the defendant has appealed; and the plaintiff answers, praying for an increase in the amount allowed.
