Opinion
No. 16251.
February 24, 1936.
Appeal from Twenty-Fourth Judicial District Court, Parish of Jefferson; L. Robert Rivarde, Judge.
On application for rehearing.
For former opinion, see 165 So. 551.
Deutsch Kerrigan Burke, of New Orleans, and J.E. Fleury, of Gretna, for appellant.
Fred A. Middleton and Chas. J. Larkin, Jr., both of New Orleans, for appellee.
In our original decree we awarded $4,000 for personal injuries and suffering, and $1,515 for medical expenses, loss of earnings, etc. In making the latter award we misconstrued the figures found in the opinion rendered in the court below. It was not our purpose to increase the amount awarded on those items.
It is therefore ordered, adjudged, and decreed that our original decree be, and it is, amended by reducing the amount thereof to $5,015. As thus amended it is reinstated.
The application for rehearing is denied. The right of plaintiff-appellee to apply for rehearing is reserved.
Original decree amended; application for rehearing by defendant refused.
