Tutwiler, Crockett & LaCaria, J. Strother Crockett, Welch, for appellant.

Ballard & Brumfield, G. David Brumfield, Welch, for appellee.

HARSHBARGER, Justice:

"We desire to be understood that this Court does not say, or lay down any rule that there never can happen a case of such excessive damages in tort where the Court may not grant a new trial; but in that case the damages must be monstrous and enormous indeed, and such as all mankind must be ready to exclaim against, at first blush. Beardmore v. Carrington, 2 Wilson, K.B. 244, 250, 95 Eng.Rep. 790, 793, (1764)."
