Justice Judd writes the oniniob.
which is unanimous by hiniBolf,
Justico Whiting and substitute
Justice L A Dickov. Oroiuhton
and Henshall for plaintiff: Kin
ney, Ballou & McClanaban for
defendant. It is remarked, "that
tbo verdict for S500 damages seems
large to as, considering tbo
prompt correotion mado aud the
fact that tbo obnoxious item was a
pure mistako of fact, but tbo
amount was dourly within tbe
province of the jury, and it is not
reversible according to tho rules
of law governing verdicts alleged
to bo excessive"
Tho Star concorn Iiqb sued out a
writ of orror to overturn tbo ver
dict, on tbo ground tbat it is con
trary to tho United States con
stitution from being assonted to by
only ten out of twelvo jurors.

Whiting is author of tbo decision,
tho Chief Justice and Judgo Stan

repeatedly done, that tbo findiug
