Syllabus
<p>In an action on the case the plaintiff is entitled to substantial damages for the wrong done him in his business repute when it is shown that the defendant in a rather exultant manner falsely stated to different persons that the plaintiff a merchant had failed in business and that defendant had seen the bankrupt papers in the court, it appearing that the plaintiff was injured in his business as a consequence of such false statements. In this case a judgment for $5000.00 damages is not so large in amount as to call for interference by the appellate court.</p>
