43 Ga. App. 198 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1931
On an appeal from an award of the Industrial Commission, denying compensation to Mrs. C. A. Henson as the widow and sole dependent of C. A. Henson, her deceased husband, the Honorable E. D. Thomas, one of the judges of the superior court of Fulton county, entered a judgment sustaining the appeal and remanding the case to the Industrial Commission, with direction to enter an award in favor of claimant, Mrs. C. A. Henson, and against Withers Foundry Company, employer, and United States Casualty Company, carrier, for the reason that, in the opinion of the court, “the record discloses and demands a finding that C. A. Henson, deceased, died of an accident which arose out of and in the course of his employment.” Exceptions were taken to this judgment and specified assignments of error made.
The sole question for the consideration of this court is whether or not the evidence in the case “demanded a finding that C. A. Henson, deceased, died of an accident which arose out of and in the course of his employment.” If the evidence had demanded such finding, the superior $ourt would be warranted in taking the view that the finding of the commission was contrary to law, and, under authority of the statutory provision, in reversing and setting it aside, and in recommitting the controversy to the commission for further hearing of the proceedings in conformity with the judgment and order of the court. But, unless this ’ court is able to say that the award of the commission was contrary to law, in that the evidence demanded such finding, the award of the commission must be permitted to stand as conclusive.

Judgment reversed.
