Head Matter:
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.

Opinion:
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.
