MISSISSIPPI STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION v. MOOREHEAD

No. 47289.

285 So.2d 139 (1973)

MISSISSIPPI STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION v. J.P. MOOREHEAD and Wife, Ruth Moorehead.

Supreme Court of Mississippi.

November 12, 1973.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Palmer & Pike, Pascagoula, for appellant.

Bryan, Gordon, Nelson & Allen, Michael J. Kitchen, Pascagoula, for appellees.

GILLESPIE, Chief Justice:

Mississippi State Highway Commission (Commission) appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court of Jackson County. The question is whether the circuit court, sitting as an appellate tribunal, erred in reversing the order of the county court granting a new trial on the ground that damages were excessive. Since no manifest abuse of discretion on the part of the trial (county) court appears, the judgment of the circuit court is reversed.
