The opinion of the court was delivered by FREUND, J.A.D.
The plaintiff recovered a jury verdict of $5,000 against the defendant for personal injuries.
On appeal, the question of the defendant's liability is not raised, the appellant arguing only two points: (1) that the verdict was shockingly excessive and not supported by the weight of the evidence, and (2) that the amount indicates the jury was swayed by mistake, passion, prejudice or partiality.
