EARL WALTON TROGDON, JR.\n(Filed 23 November, 1966.)\nTrial \u00a7 48\u2014\nThe action of the trial court in setting aside the verdict in its discretion will not be disturbed on appeal when the record fails to disclose any abuse of discretion.\nAppeal by plaintiff from Biddle, Special Judge, April 1966 Civil Session of RaNdolph.\nPlaintiff instituted this action March 8, 1965. He alleged he sustained property damage of $350.00 and damages of $10,000.00 on account of personal injuries as the result of a rear-end collision on August 10, 1963, caused by defendant\u2019s negligence. Answering, defendant admitted his car struck the rear of plaintiff\u2019s car and that his negligence was the sole proximate cause of the collision. He admitted there was some (but not extensive) damage to plaintiff\u2019s 1950 Dodge but denied plaintiff received any personal injuries.\nPlaintiff and defendant offered evidence relating to the amount of damages plaintiff had sustained as a result of the collision.\nThe court submitted, and the jury answered, the following issues: \u201c1. What amount, if any, is the plaintiff, James Wayman Scott, Sr., entitled to recover of the defendant, Earl Walton Trog-don, Jr., for: a) Property damage? \u00c1NSWER: $325.00. b) Personal injuries? ANswer: $10,000.00.\u201d\nThe court, allowing defendant\u2019s motion, \u201cOrdeeed, in the discretion of the Court, that the verdict of the jury in this trial be set aside and that a new trial be held in this action.\u201d (Our italics.)\nPlaintiff excepted and appealed.\nOttway Burton for plaintiff appellant.\nColtrane & Gavin for defendant appellee."
