Action of replevin for a black horse.
The verdict was for the defendant and
the case comes before the law court
upon the plaintiffs motion for a new
trial.
1t is undisputed that the defendant
purchased the horse in question Of the
plaintiff and fully paid for it. There
after he told the plaintiff that the
horse was too young or too quick, and
the parties then made some arrange
ment whereby the defendant left the
black horse with the PLAINTIFF and took
from him a sorrel horse. A few DAYS
later the defendant returned to the
plaintiff the sorrel horse and took the
black horse home. The plaintiffs
claim at the trial was that the defend
ant resold the black horse to him in
exchange for the sorrel horse. He tes-
t.fed that when the sorrel horse was
driven back to his place by the defend
ant. few days after the exchange, it
was too sick to be driven, and that It
was left in his stable for that reason,
the defendant borrowing the black
horse to drive home with. The sorrel
horse did not recover nom that sick
ness. but died in a few days at the
plaintiffs stable.
On the other hand, the defendant
contended that the arrangement be-
tween him and the plaintiff was that
he should take the sorrel horse on trial
for a few days and IL satisfied with
him he was to keep 1t in place Of the
black horse, that upon trial the sorrel
horse proved wholly unsatisfactory
and he returned it to the plaintiff and
took his black horse home.
The issue in the case was one Of
fact. whether the defendant resold the
black horse to the plaintiff in ex-
change for the sorrel horse. Upon that
issue the testimony was conflicting. 1t
will serve no useful purpose to restate
It here. If the jury accepted the tes-
timony Of the defendant and his wit
nesses the verdict was justified. An
examination Of the evidence does not
convince the court that the jury man
ifestly erred in deciding the issue Of
fact involved between the parties n
the defendants favor. and accordingly
the motion for new trial must be
oVerruled.
So ordered.

'he case is now before the law court
upon motion by the defendant for a
new trial based upon the alterations
that the verdict is against the weight
Vi me evidence and that the damages
awarded are excessive.
we have examined and studied the
evidence with care and we are nv no
means satisfied that the finding Of the
Jury in the plaintiffs favor was erro-
neus. Whether they found against the
defendant upon both. or only one of
the allegations upon which the action
- paseo, this court cannot now deter
Ihlhe' put that IS immaterial, for we
think the evidence is abundantly sum
ci'nt to Justify the jury in finding that
roth Of those allegations were estab-
lished
Neither is it made to appear to the
court that the damages awarded are
excessive. The plaintiffs wife became
Injected with blood poisoning as a re-
9i't OF the criminal operation on her
The defendant attended her for about
4"ur weeks following the operation.
rncT his treatment she became des-
nrr7tcly i'll. and as soon as another
hh%slcian was called she was removed
70 hospital where her case was di-
aEnosed as almost hopeless. She re-
NAMED in the hospital seven weeks
during which time ten operations we're
performed to remove pus from differ
'nt parts OF her body. She had re-
covered crly in part at the time of the
trial about SIX months after she left
tie hospital.
The evidence shows that the plaintiff
was put 10 large expenses for nursing,
nlodicinc, and medical and surgical
services in an effort to save his wife's
life and restore her to health as much
has possible. The jury may well have
found from the evidence that his ac-
tua! disbursements and liabilities nee
cssarily incurred on that account
amounted to substantially 5000. In
view of that fact, and also that the
plaintiff was deprived of the services
Of his wife for a long space Of time,
and that he suffered great anxiety and
distress Of mind on account of her suf-
ferlnss, an award of sSs15S damages in
his favor cannot be regarded as ex-
cessive.
Motion overruled. Judgment on the
verdict. Received Aug. l, 1917.
