       Reported by L. S. B. Sawyer, Esq., and here reprinted by permission. 4 Law & Eq.Rep. 616, contains only a partial report.
    
   FIELD, Circuit Justice.

We think there was no error in the charge of the court, and that the law of the case was delivered to- the jury correctly. But we think the damages found by the jury excessive, and there must be a new trial on that ground, unless the plaintiff consents to remit one thousand five hundred dollars ,of the verdict.

The plaintiff, consenting accordingly, had judgment for two thousand dollars.
