Syllabus
<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>Where a case hinges on the credibility of witnesses and the finding of the trial Judge on this question is not manifestly erroneous, it will not be disturbed.</p> <p>In a damage suit for assault and battery the amount to-be allowed is left largely to the trial Judge, and his judgment will be affirmed unless the sum fixed by him is clearly insufficient or excessive.</p> <p>Three hundred dollars is not excessive compensation for physical and moral pain, inability to work for two weeks, and loss of two front teeth caused by an assault and battery.</p>
Judges: Claiborne, Honor
