Plaintiff’s automobile was damaged under circumstances which, admittedly, involve defendant’s responsibility.

The cost of repairing the car has been estimated at $10.00 by an expert testifying in defendant’s behalf and at $134.00 by an expert testifying fqr plaintiff. The trial judge allowed $109.00.

We have concluded to reduce the amount to $44.00, consequently, the judgment appealed from will be amended accordingly. The defendant to pay all costs.
