Heading: Excessiveness of Verdict.

Text: Appellant contends that the verdict was excessive. The rule that this court will not review the action of the trial court in granting or denying a motion for a new trial for error of fact has long been settled; and frequently has been applied when the ground of the motion was that the damages awarded by the jury were excessive or were inadequate. Fairmount Glass Works v. Cub Fork Coal Company, 287 U. S. 474, 53 S. Ct. 252, 77 L. Ed. 439; Southern Railway Company v. Walters (C. C. A.) 47 F.(2d) 3; Grand Trunk Western Railway Company v. Heatlie (C. C. A.) 48 F.(2d) 759. Therefore, this question is not open to our consideration. The judgment is reversed and the case remanded for a new trial.
