Syllabus

<p>Damages — Personal Injuries — Inadequate Verdict — New^ Trial. A verdict for $1,500 damages for tbe loss of a hand by a carpenter thirty-three years of age, in good health, earning forty to sixty cents an hour, and who was able to earn only fifty dollars in the eighteen months following, is so manifestly inadequate as to authorize the trial court to set it aside as given under the influence of passion or prejudice, under Rem. & Bal. Code, § 399, which places inadequate and excessive verdicts on the same footing.</p>
