Description
Plaintiffs brought this action to recover damages for the death of their child, age 10 months, alleging that by reason of the negligence of defendant in its maintenance of uninsulated wires charged with electricity in the dwelling house belonging to defendant but rented to and occupied by plaintiffs, the said child was electrocuted by coming into contact with such wires. The action was tried before a jury and resulted in a verdict for plaintiffs in the sum of $27,500. On motion for a new trial the court reduced the damages to $188.31 allowed for funeral expenses, and $15,000 general damages. From the judgment entered accordingly defendant has prosecuted this appeal, contending that as landlord it was not liable, that plaintiffs were guilty of negligence contributing to the death of the child, that the verdict was so excessive as to indicate passion and prejudice, and that defendant's motion for a new trial should have been granted. No objection to any instructions given or refused is urged, or other errors asserted.
