Caekieb— Weongpul Excltjbion of Pabsenqee— Right of Resist- �ance — Damages. �A passenger about to be wrongfully ejected is not bound to sub- mit without resistance, but it should not be eneouraged, as it leads to afCrays and turbulence, and is generally useless where there is a de- termination to remove the passenger from the train. Butwliilesuch resistance is no defence to the action, if personal injury be inflicted as a resuit of it the Jury may look to the fact of resistance in mitiga- tion of damages. �6. Bame Subjeot — Excessive Verdict. �It is the exclusive province of the jury to afflx the damages, and where they are cautioned against excessive verdicts, prejudice, and passion, the court will not disturb their verdict iu a case contain- ing elements of gross personal indignity and injury. �Motion for New Trial. �Inge 4 Chandler,IQr plaintiff, oited Etting v.
