Description
Action, for negligence causing personal injuries. On motion a jury verdict of $500 for the plaintiff was set aside as inadequate, and the defendant excepted. The opinion states the material facts. Transferred by Matthews, J. If the verdict might be found reasonably adequate, it should stand. Its overturn must rest on a finding that the evidence to show the inadequacy is so overwhelming as to make it unfair. Bennett v. Larose, 82 N.H. 443, 448, and cases cited; Morrell v. Gobeil, 84 N.H. 150, 151. Any Conclusion of mistake, partiality or corruption must here be drawn from a preliminary finding of its insufficiency. The record shows no evidence of impropriety unless in its limited amount. The plaintiff is understood to concede this, and to refer to his prior bankruptcy and to his unfavorable manner as a witness as explanations of the inadequacy without being direct proof of unfairness in arriving at the verdict.
