128 Ga. 814 | Ga. | 1907
Missouri P. Broughton sued the Southern Railway Company for damages, for alleged personal injuries claimed to have been sustained by falling, at night, in the dark, over the tongue of a truck on the platform of defendant’s depot, where she had gone to purchase a ticket. She recovered a verdict for $6,000.00, and the case is in this court for review, on exceptions to the overruling of defendant’s motion for a new trial.
There were other assignments of error' in the motion for a new trial, with which we do not deem it necessary to deal specifically. Some of the matters complained of were such as will not likely arise upon another trial; and while some of the instructions excepted to were not strictly accurate, none of them was so erroneous as to require the grant of a new trial, except those which we have discussed in this opinion.
Judgment reversed.
