Modern Graphics, Inc. v. Belger Cartage Services, Inc.

KENNEDY, Judge.

Plaintiff Modern Graphics had judgment against Belger Cartage, after a jury trial, for $14,345.16 for damaging 75 steel galleys and 146 forms used in the printing business. The galleys and forms had been purchased by Modern Graphics from Charles Stout and Sons Printers and were being moved from the seller’s premises to that of Modern Graphics by Belger Cartage when the damage occurred. The jury verdict was for $20,000, but the court by order of remittitur limited recovery to $14,345.16. The remittitur was accepted by Modern Graphics and judgment was entered for that amount.
