Atlanta & W. P. R. R. v. Irwin
99 Ga. 628 | Ga. | 1896
The evidence showing beyond doubt that the plaintiffs mule was killed by the defendant’s train and the presumption of negligence being against the company, a prima facie right to recover was shown. The evidence relied upon by the defendant to show due diligence was contradicted by other evidence; and therefore, on the whole, the verdict was sufficiently supported, and there was no abuse of discretion in denying a new trial. Judgment affirmed.
