1.’ The first grant of a new trial will ‍​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍not be disturbed by the Supreme Court where it does not appear that the verdict was required under the law and the ‍​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍facts. Civil Code (1895), § 5585. See Cox v. Grady, 132 Ga. 368 (64 S. E. 262). Under the evidence in this ease and the law applicable ‍​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍thereto, the verdict rendered was not required.

2. When a judgment granting a new trial is affirmed, questions raised by assignments of ‍​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍error upon pendente lite exceptions can not be considered and determined by the Supreme Court, as the case is still pending in ‍​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍the trial court.
