Central of Georgia Railway Co. v. Castellow

121 Ga. 772 | Ga. | 1905

Cobb, J.

The requests to charge, so far as legal and pertinent, were in substance covered by the general charge. The evidence was sufficient to raise a presumption of negligence against the company, and a finding that the presumption had not been rebutted was authorized. The discretion of the trial judge in refusing to grant a new trial will not be interfered with.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.

Action for damages. Before Judge Sheffield. Quitman- superior court. March 14, 1904.
