Hammond v. Scoggins
94 S.E. 582
Ga. Ct. App.
1917
Check Treatment
Jenkins, J.

The assignments of error as to excerpts from the charge of the court are without substantial merit. The evidence authorized the verdict; and the newly discovered evidence, being merely cumulative and tending only to show admissions made in a casual conversation, will not require a new trial, especially where the statements thus proposed to be proved are directly denied by the counter-affidavit of the other party to the 'conversation, and where the integrity of the affiant is assailed. The court did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial. Civil Code (1910), §§ 6085, 6086; Erskine v. Duffy, 76 Ga. 602 (5); Grubb v. Kalb, 37 Ga. 459; Atlanta Consolidated St. Ry. Co. v. McIntire, 103 Ga. 568 (2) (29 S. E. 766); Holliday v. Athens, 10 Ga. App. 709 (7) (74 S. E. 67); Knight v. Northey, 21 Ga. App. 46 (5) (93 S. E. 535).

Judgment affirmed.

Wade, C. J., and Luhe, J., concur.
