Head Matter:
ANNA DEGARBRIS AND HUSBAND, PLAINTIFFS, v. LEONARD GEROME AND FLOCKHART FOUNDRY COMPANY, DEFENDANTS.
Submitted May 15, 1931
Decided November 16, 1931.
Before Gummebe, Chief Justice, and Justices Paekee and Case.
Eor the plaintiffs, Ezra W. Karhus.
For the defendants, James L. Handford.

Opinion:
Pee Cueiam.
The female plaintiff was struck by defendants' motor car while crossing a road and was injured. The jury awarded a verdict in her favor of $200 and to her husband, per quod, $300.
The plaintiffs claim that the verdict is inadequate; the defendants, that there should have been a verdict in their favor.
Our reading of the testimony satisfies us that if the plaintiffs were entitled to any damages the amounts found are plainly inadequate; but on the other hand the right to a recovery is in our view most doubtful. Our conclusion is that there should be a new trial at large, whereat the questions both of liability and quantum of damages may be retried.
