    Edwin Gomez, Jr., Appellant v. Edward Joyce, Respondent.
    Decided June 20, 1888.
    Appeal by plaintiff from a judgment in his favor for six cents damages, entered upon the verdict of a jury directed by the trial judge in an action for slander.
    Hector M. Hitchings, for appellant. Thomas F. Magner, for respondent.
    Before Sedgwick, Ch. J., and Freedman, J.
   The Court held (Per Curiam) that the words spoken were actionable per se, and therefore the jury might give exemplary damages as well as damages for plaintiff’s mental disturbance and suffering; and reversed the judgment and ordered a new trial.”
