## Opinion text

On Rehearing.
PER CURIAM.
[9, 10]
The fact that the verdict of the jury was in excess of the amount claimed is not ground for a new trial. The trial court should have treated . the amount in excess of that claimed as surplus-age, and rendered a judgment for $300, the amount claimed in the complaint, and the judgment will here be corrected, and, as corrected, will be affirmed. Wadsworth v. First National Bank, 124 Ala. 440 , 27 South. 460 ; Jean v. Sandiford, 39 Ala. 317 ; Leas v. Garrett & Mason, 16 Ala. App. 572 , 80 South. 146 .
Judgment corrected and affirmed, and application overruled.
