Patochi v. Cent. Pac. R.R.
California Supreme Court Jul 1, 1877 No. No. 4935Published
Synopsis
Verdict m Gold Com.—In an action to recover damages for an injury to the person, a verdict for the plaintiff payable in gold coin is not warranted, and if such verdict is rendered, the Court should disregard the gold coin part as surplus.
By the Court : The verdict, in so far as it awarded damages “in United States gold coin,” was unwarranted, and this clause should have [91]been disregarded in entering the judgment. ( Watson v. S. F. & H. B. R. R. Co. 50 Cal. 523.) We find no other error in the record.
Judgment and order affirmed, except in so far as the judgment requires payment in gold coin, and the case is remanded, with instructions to the Court below to modify the judgment in accordance with this opinion.
