Description

Respondent Miller filed his action for personal injuries against appellant wherein he prayed for $75,000 damages. Respondent
City Products Corporation also filed its action pursuant to § 287.150, RSMo 1959, V.A.M.S., to recover from appellant
$8,497.40 paid as workmen's compensation benefits to Miller, it being alleged that he was injured during the course of his
employment with City Products. The actions were consolidated by the trial court. Trial beginning on November 4, 1963, was to a jury which returned a verdict for appellant and against respondents. Respondents'
motions for new trial were sustained upon two specified grounds, (1) that the giving of Instruction No. 2 upon the burden
of proof was error; and (2) that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence. From the order granting a new trial this
appeal has been perfected by appellant. We have jurisdiction by reason of the amounts prayed for exceeding $15,000. Const.
Mo. 1945, Art. V, Sec. 3, V.A.M.S.
