Opinion:
Per Curiam,
An appellate court may reverse an order granting a new trial because of the amount of the verdict; but where a new trial is granted because the verdict is inadequate, an appellate court will hesitate to consider the order granting a new trial, especially where it appears from the argument and the opinion of the court below that the amounts were manifestly too small.
Appeal dismissed.
