Head Matter:
Mary A. Francis, Respondent, v. Frank Steadman, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment and order reversed and new trial granted, costs to abide the event, upon the ground that under the evidence and the law, as declared in the charge and properly so, the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict for $113, if any, and that, therefore, the verdict in plaintiff's favor for $50 must have been the result of an illogical and improper compromise on the part of the jury. Jenks, P. J., Thomas, Mills and Putnam, JJ., concurred; Carr, J., not voting.
