6 Ga. App. 519 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1909
1. Where a contract of employment designates the employee as “local manager,” and does not define or specify his duties, parol evidence is admissible for the purpose of showing the nature and extent of the duties devolving upon such local manager and the nature of his relation to the employer. Parol evidence thus offered for the sole purpose of defining the meaning of- the title conferred upon the employee is not violative of the rule which forbids that the terms of a valid written contract be varied or contradicted by parol evidence.
2. Where a motion to rule out evidence is too broad, comprehending both admissible and inadmissible evidence and not distinguishing the one from the other, it is not error to deny the motion.
3. The evidence authorized the verdict rendered; and the errors assigned (in so far as they are properly presented) are not sufficiently material to authorize the reversal of the judgment refusing a new trial. If, on a review of the evidence and the entire record of the trial, there is no material error which could have produced a different result, a new trial will not be granted. Judgment affirmed.
