An action by an autoist against defendants in error for damages resulting from a collision of a streetcar of defendant company with his automobile allegedly caused by the negligence of the operator of the streetcar. The jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff for five hundred dollars, upon which, judgment was duly entered. Plaintiff being dissatisfied with the verdict and judgment, moved for a new trial on the question of the amount of damages only, on the ground, inter alia, that the verdict for five hundred dollars was grossly inadequate. The motion was denied, and he brings the cause here for review by writ of error.
