AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 166.3 — new trial granted where verdict is grossly inadequate. In suit in tort to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by plaintiffs switchboard operator and painter, where it appeared that defendant's automobile struck two young men and hurled their bodies across street, striking plaintiffs and injuring them, held that verdicts of $1,500 for switchboard operator and $100 for painter were so grossly inadequate as to be against manifest weight of evidence, and that court erred in denying plaintiffs' motion for new trial.
