Description
Per Curiam. -- This writ of error was taken by the plaintiff below to a motion granting a new trial in an action to recover damages for an alleged breach of contract, the contention being that the award of $196.00 as damages is inadequate. The contract provided for extending a tram road of the defendants in error into a tract of 1360 acres of pine timber of the plaintiffs in error for the purpose of hauling all the lumber to be made from the trees on the land. The defendants in error agreed to build and operate the tram road, etc., provided the plaintiffs in error ""shall offer for shipment over said tram road an average of two hundred thousand feet of lumber per month for twelve months * * * and thereafter an average tonnage of two hundred thousand feet per month, until all of said timber shall be cut."" It appears that the tram road was not built within the specified time and that before the expiration of twelve months from the agreed date all the timber on the land suitable for lumber had been cut and the lumber made therefrom shipped under the contract.
