    Holding that impeachment regarding a conflict between the plaintiff's deposition testimony and income tax returns regarding past wages was improper when plaintiff dropped claim for lost wages prior to the trial

    A ruling by the trial judge on matters pertaining to the reputation for truth and veracity of a plaintiff is within the sound discretion of the trial judge, and will not be reversed unless the appellant establishes an abuse thereof which has resulted in prejudice to his case. Pandula v. Fonseca, 1940, 145 Fla. 395, 199 So. 358. Obviously, the trial judge determined that the testimonial evidence in the deposition which defendants sought to employ to impeach Mrs. Yuhas was too remote to the issue presented in this case.
