The only complaint here is that the damages awarded by the jury were excessive, and the court erred in not granting a new trial, asked for that reason.\nThe property consisted of a multitude of articles of household furniture, in various stages of \u201c wear and tear,\u201d and it is impossible for the court, by any review of the testimony, intelligently to fix a value upon it. The jury were correctly instructed that \u201cmarket value\u201d was the rule, yet it is quite probable they deemed that inadequate compensation to a householder wrongfully deprived of her furniture.\nThere was conflicting evidence as to the value, and the verdict of the jury is, under ordinary circumstances, conclusive.\nJudgment affirmed.",
