27 Ga. App. 142 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1921
(After stating the foregoing facts.) As the exceptions are only to the overruling of the motion for a new trial, based upon the usual general grounds, this court cannot review the direction of a verdict. Kelley v. Cartledge, 151 Ga. 179 (106 S. E. 93). Neither will this court interfere with the discretion of the trial court in overruling a motion for a new trial if there is any evidence to support the verdict for the defendant. . In actions for nuisances, as in other actions for torts, the measure of damages is compensation to the plaintiff for the actual injury inflicted. Where the injury goes either to the market, or rental value of the premises, the difference in the market or rental value before the nuisance existed and such value after the nuisance was created is the measure of damages. Central Georgia Power Co. v. Stubbs, 141 Ga. 185 (80 S. E. 636). The evidence of the plaintiffs in this case,
Judgment reversed.
