Opinion
No. 2566.
Argued May 9, 1960.
Decided June 28, 1960.
APPEAL FROM MUNICIPAL COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, CIVIL DIVISION; CATHERINE B. KELLY, JUDGE.
William Bogen, Washington, D.C., for appellant.
No appearance for appellee.
Before ROVER, Chief Judge, and HOOD and QUINN, Associate Judges.
This controversy involved a fence dividing the respective property of the litigants. It had been erected some years ago at appellee's expense. Appellant maliciously and without justification destroyed one section of the fence, thereby causing another section to collapse. The court entered a finding for appellee. The only question of any substance before us on this appeal is the amount of damages awarded. We have carefully considered the entire record, and in view of appellant's wrongful act, we cannot say that the damages were excessive.
Affirmed.
