TATE, Judge.
The facts and legal issues are discussed in the companion case, Guidry v. Growther, La.App., 96 So.2d 71 , rendered this date. For the reasons stated therein, the District Court correctly held appellant liable.
Appellants alternatively urge that the damages awarded were excessive.
The District Court awarded $700 for personal injuries, plus $42 of proven medical expenses, for “a complete fracture of the left 7th rib” from which young Olivei-ra suffered “a month and a half or two months, according to his testimony”. He stayed in bed two weeks at home as a result of the painful fracture.
The award is not manifestly excessive. See Rhymes v. Guidry, La.App. 1 Cir., 84 So.2d 634 .
The judgment appealed from is affirmed.
Affirmed.
