    PITTMAN v. HUNTER et al.
    No. 17602.
    Court of Appeal of Louisiana. Orleans.
    June 8, 1942.
    For prior opinion, see 6 So.2d 786.
    Baldwin, Haspel & Molony and Robert R. Rainold, all of New Orleans, for plaintiff.
    Porteous, Johnson & Humphrey, of New Orleans, for Geo. Hunter and another.
    M. C. Scharff, of New Orleans, for Milton J. Stem.
    Cyril F. Dumaine, of New Orleans, for Board of Administrators of Charity Hospital.
   WESTERFIELD, Judge.

We granted a rehearing in this matter to reconsider the question of the quantum of damages. After hearing argument and reviewing the evidence concerning the injuries of plaintiff, we have reached the conclusion that the stun of $5,000 would be more consistent with former awards in similar cases.

For the reasons assigned our former decree is amended by reducing the amount awarded plaintiff from the sum of $7,500 to $5,000. In all other respects it is affirmed.

Original decree amended and reinstated.
