236 S.W. 170 | Tex. App. | 1921
The assignment attacking the verdict and judgment as excessive also is overruled. There is nothing in the record indicating that the jury were influenced by "passion, prejudice, or other improper motive" in finding the amount they did, and we cannot say that amount is "manifestly excessive." Hence the rule applicable would not warrant this court in substituting its judgment for that of the jury and trial judge as to the sum which would compensate defendants in error for the loss they incurred by the death of their son. Railway Co. v. Dorsey,
The judgment is affirmed.
