[301] hodsoll against stallebrass and another. Saturday, January llth, 1840. In an action of tort for wounding plaintiff's servant, whereby he was disabled from serving, the jury may give damages for the loss of service, not only before action brought but afterwards, down to the time when, as it appears in evidence, the disability may be expected to cease. A declaration for such injury, stating the servant to have been permanently crippled, is supported by evidence that the injured part is still disabled and likely to remain so, but, with care, will be restored in time.
