105 Ga. 62 | Ga. | 1898
This case is here for the third time, former adjudications of it appearing in 86 Ga. 301 et seq. and 91 Ga. 500 et seq. On the' third trial of the case below, a verdict was again rendered for the city, and the defendant filed his motion for a new trial, and assigns error on the judgment of the court below in overruling the same. Counting the subdivisions in the motion, there are over seventy-five grounds of complaint alleged. These grounds seem to cover not only most of the questions which have previously been adjudicated by this court in this identical case, but also every conceivable point which might suggest itself to the ingenious and analytical mind of learned counsel. Many of the propositions contended for by plaintiff in error in his motion are subdivided into almost infinitesimal particles, among most of which there does not appear to exist “the shade of the shadow” of a difference. Through this voluminous record we have patiently toiled and have endeavored, by such winnowing mental powers as we have had opportunity and time to command, to separate from the immense chaff of immaterial matter before us the few solid grains of legal propositions that remain in this case, and are worthy to be considered, our decision upon which is embodied in the foregoing headnotes. And our reasons for these rulings we will now proceed to give.
Judgment affirmed.
