Description
SHACKLEFORD, J. -- This case has been here once before. For the former opinion see 66 Fla. 246, 63 South. Rep. 659. As we stated therein, ""In an action to recover compensatory damages for personal injuries alleged to have been caused by the negligence of the defendant corporation, the court directed a verdict for the defendant; and to a judgment rendered on the verdict, the plaintiff took writ of error."" This judgment we reversed for the reasons stated in the opinion. Upon the going down of the mandate, the case came on again for trial upon the same pleadings and the issues thereby made. By stipulation of counsel for the respective parties the case was submitted to the Circuit Judge for trial and determination without a jury. Such stipulation further provided that the testimony as contained in the transcript upon the former writ of error should be used, and as a matter of fact, no other testimony was adduced by either party, except as to the measure of damages. The trial court found as a matter of law that the plaintiff was entitled to recover and assessed his damages at the sum of $2,000.00, for which amount judgment was rendered, which judgment the defendant has brought here for review.
