"This contention cannot be sustained.

It is further contended by plaintiff that since the court indicated in passing on the motion for new trial that it could not approve the verdict for the reason that damages awarded were excessive, it was its duty to set aside the verdict and grant plaintiff a new trial; that it had no authority upon the filing of remittitur to approve the verdict and overrule the motion.
