1Opinion of the CourtElliott, J.
Pamelia White brought this action against John White and Elizabeth White to recover damages for the alienation of the affections and regard of her husband. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $2,000, and the defendants appealed from an order denying their motion for an order for judgment in their favor notwithstanding the verdict or for a new trial.
