Thompson v. Marsh Cypress Co.
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided January 15, 1912 · Hill
10 Ga. App. 303; 73 S.E. 352; 1912 Ga. App. LEXIS 474

Thompson v. Marsh Cypress Co.

Opinion of the Court

Hill, C. J.

The evidence for the plaintiff did not prove the allegations of negligence as laid in the petition. Admitting all the facts proved and all reasonable deductions therefrom, the negligence alleged against the master as the basis of liability not only was not shown, but it affirmatively appeared that the injury was caused by the negligence of a fellow servant and the concurring' negligence of the plaintiff himself. The nonsuit was properly awarded. Civil Code (1910), § 5942. Judgment on main bill of exceptions affirmed; eross-bill dismissed.
