Opinion filed June 1, 1907.

Kirby & Wilson, for appellants.

John A. Bellatti, for appellee.

Per Curiam.

Appellee as the owner of lots No. 156 and 157 in the Car Shops addition to the city of Jacksonville recovered a verdict and judgment against appellants for $400 for damages alleged to have resulted to said property by reason of the construction and operation of a railroad.

The questions presented by the record in this case, are the same as those involved in the case of DeFreitas against the same defendant and, the opinion in that case this day filed in this court, controls the disposition of this case. (Ante, p. 228.)

If appellee will, within 20 days, remit $100 from the amount of his judgment, it will be affirmed for $300, otherwise the judgment will be reversed and the cause remanded.

Affirmed upon remittitur. Remittitur filed and judgment affirmed.
