Majority

p. 934
Terry Lent, an Infant, by Constance Lent, His Guardian ad Litem, et al., Respondents, v. Sheffield Farms Company, Inc., Appellant.

Judgment unanimously reversed and a new trial ordered unless plaintiff consents to a reduction of the verdict in favor of the infant plaintiff to the sum of $17,500 in which event the judgment, as so modified is affirmed. On this record we think the amount awarded by the jury is excessive. Settle order on notice. Present — Cohn, J. P., Breitel, Bastow, Botein and Bergan, JJ.
