CHRISTIAN G. VOLTZ, Respondent, v. ABEL T. BLACKMAR, Appellant.
Appeal from a judgment in favor of the plaintiff, entered at the Dutchess county Circuit, and from an order denying a motion for a new trial.
The plaintiff on a trial at the Dutchess Circuit in an action for false imprisonment, assault and battery, had a verdict for $4,250, and the court made an extra allowance of five per cent thereon in addition to the costs. The defendant seeks a new trial for alleged errors at the trial, and for excessive damages. The General Term found no errors that could be held at all sufficient to. disturb the verdict, nor, under the circumstances óf the case, did it consider the damages excessive. It further held, that the extra allowance was in accordance with the established practice and usage in the courts of the district.
