Summary
In Railroad v. Roddy, 85 Tenn. 400, 5 S.W. 286, the rule of the common law, applied in many prior Tennessee cases, was declared, "that in actions for damages for personal torts it is within the strict province of the jury to estimate the extent of the injury and assess the damage, and that unless there is a manifest abuse of this trust, such as to indicate passion, prejudice, partiality, or unaccountable caprice or corruption, the trial judge ought not to interfere."
