53 Ga. 661 | Ga. | 1875
The plaintiff in the court below filed her libel for a divorce against the defendant, alleging as grounds therefor cruel treatment, habitual drunkenness, and adultery with a colored woman named Tabitha. On the trial there was much evidence introduced by the respective parties. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. A motion was made for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was contrary to law, contrary to the evidence, and strongly and decidedly against the weight of the evidence, and on the ground of newly discovered evidence. The court granted a new trial on the last ground specified in the motion, whereupon the defendant excepted.
Let the judgment be affirmed.
