Carroll W. Phillips vs. Philip A. Cummings.
    Cumberland County.
    Decided October 20, 1927.
    
      William Lyons and Frank II. Haskell, for plaintiff.
    
      Harry E. Nixon, for defendant.
   On Motion. Action by husband alleging criminal conversation and alienation of affections. Verdict for plaintiff. Damages $1916.66.

The issues raised are of f^ct only. The evidence is voluminous and contradictory. Sufficient appears in the record, if believed, to warrant the verdict. A different result might be reached by this court were we acting as triers of fact but we cannot say that the jury manifestly erred.

The findings of a jury, on questions of fact, based on a reasonable construction of credible evidence, will not be disturbed by this court.

Assuming the verdict justified, damages are not excessive. Motion denied.
