Heading: the verdict of the jury was excessive in view of the contributory negligence of the plaintiff and was so excessive as to evidence passion, prejudice, bias of the jury against the defendant, or alternatively was based on sympathy and compassion for the plaintiff.

Text: Litton does not support its fifth assignment of error by any cited authority. However, we have carefully examined the record with reference to proof of damages. The verdict was not so excessive as to evidence bias, passion or prejudice by the jury against Litton. There being no errors in the record, the judgment of the lower court is affirmed. AFFIRMED. PATTERSON, C.J., WALKER, P.J., and BOWLING, HAWKINS, DAN M. LEE, PRATHER, ROBERTSON and SULLIVAN, JJ., concur.
