MARY WELCH ET AL., PLAINTIFFS, v. JOHN R. HOUGHTON ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
    Submitted January term, 1929
    Decided May 7, 1929.
    Before Justices Black, Campbell and Case.
    Por the rule, John A. Ijaird.
    
    
      Contra, Arthur. C. Mullen.
    
   Pee Curiam.

This is a negligence action in which the plaintiffs below have verdicts as follows: Mary Welch, $1,200; Harry Welch, $300; Minnie Hiss, $5,000; John M. Hiss, for personal injuries, $200; for loss of services of his wife, $300, and for expenses for effecting a cure of his wile, &c., $1,000.

The single reason urged against these verdicts is that they are excessive and that they are not justified and warranted by the proofs.

We have reached a contrary conclusion and the rule to show cause will be discharged, with costs.
