Washington Supreme Court

1Opinion of the CourtMount, J.
Action for personal injuries. On issues joined and trial to the court with a jury, a verdict was returned in favor of the plaintiff. Thereafter the defendant filed a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, and in case of a denial of that motion, for a new trial. The plaintiff also filed a motion for a new trial, claiming that the verdict was insufficient by reason of passion and prejudice on the part of the jury. On considering these motions, the trial court granted the defendant’s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, and dismissed the action. The plaintiff has appealed.
