Brazney v. Barnard

This is an action to recover damages for an injury alleged to have been caused by the negligent manner in which the defendant operated his automobile on First street in the city of Thief River Falls on February 15, 1924. The answer was a general denial and a charge of contributory negligence on the part of plaintiff. There was a verdict for $8,000 in favor of plaintiff, a settled case and motion for a new trial. The court filed an order granting a new trial unless the plaintiff filed his consent to a reduction of the verdict to $6,000. The consent was filed and the defendant appealed.
