18 Ga. App. 74 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1916
1. The court, having stricken paragraph 4 of the answer, erred in refusing to strike paragraphs 5, 6, and 9, as these latter paragraphs were so related to it as to be immaterial and unintelligible without it.
2. Under repeated rulings of this court, it is never error to refuse to direct a verdict.
3. The defendant relied upon a plea of fraudulent representations by the plaintiff’s agent, in procuring him to sign the contract under which the goods were sold, but the evidence wholly failed to sustain this plea. A verdict for the plaintiff was demanded, and, the jury having found for the defendant, the court erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.
Judgment reversed.
