Williams sued the Central Railroad and obtained a verdict. The railroad company moved for a new trial. An order was taken, during the term at which the trial was had, that the same should be heard at the next term of Sumter superior court, and that the movant have leave, until that time or until the further order of the court, to make out a brief of the evidence. When the case was called during Sumter superior -court, the same was continued to Macon superior court, at the suggestion of counsel for Williams. At Macon superior court, the counsel for Williams being sick, the case was ordered to be heard at the adjourned term of Sumter superior court. When the case was called at the adjourned term of Sumter superior court, counsel for Williams moved to dismiss the motion for new trial, upon the ground'that the brief of evidence had not been filed and approved by the court. The court overruled this motion, and approved the brief of evidence, and granted a new trial in said case. These several rulings of the court were excepted to by the plaintiff, and error is assigned thereon.
Judgment affirmed.
