#### Chicago, P. & M. R. R. Co. v. James M. Daniel.

I. Instructions—Erroneous, Will Not Always Reverse.—When a judgment for damages to property arising from the construction of a railroad is clearly right under the evidence it will not be reversed for errors in instructions on the question of damages.

Trespass on the Case.—Damages to lands, etc. Appeal from the Circuit Court of Jefferson County; the Hon. Edmund D. Youngblood, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the August term, 1895.

Affirmed.

Opinion filed March 7, 1896.

J. H. Atterbury, attorney for appellant.

F. G. Blood and Jones & Blair, attorneys for appellee.

Mr. Justice Scofield

delivered the opinion of the Court.

Appellee sued appellant for damages to his property in the city of Mt. Vernon, arising from the construction of appellant’s railroad, and recovered judgment for $175.

It is said that the court erred in the instructions to the jury on the question of damages. Even if the court did so err, the judgment should not be reversed if it is clearly right under the evidence. We are of the opinion that the verdict is not excessive, but that, on the contrary, a larger verdict would have been justified.

The judgment is affirmed.
