95 Ga. 236 | Ga. | 1894
The plaintiff, Miss. Oallie Jett, brought an action against the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company for two alleged torts. One was, carrying her past the' station to which she had paid her fare; and the other was,; compelling her to ride in the baggage-car on the following morning when she was returning to her home. We have directed the reporter to state the material facts developed by the evidence. The defendant admitted liability as to the first of the above mentioned matters, and as to this ground of complaint the only question at issue was, what should properly be the-amount of the recovery. As to the second ground of complaint, the defendant denied liability, insisting that inviting the young lady to ride in the baggage-car for the short distance she had to go was but an act of courtesy and kindness intended to relieve her of the inconvenience of riding in a passenger-car which was very greatly overcrowded, and in which she could not have found a seat. The legal questions involved in the case are free from difficulty.
Judgment reversed.
