Toole v. Jones

Opinion of the Court

Broyles, J.

In this case the motion for a new trial contained only the usual general grounds. There was some slight evidence authorizing the verdict; and, the verdict having been approved by the trial judge, under the repeated and uniform rulings of this court and of the Supreme Court a reviewing court is powerless to interfere. When the verdict is apparently decidedly against the weight of the evidence, the trial judge has a wide discretion as to granting or refusing a new trial; but whenever there is any evidence, however slight, ¡to support a verdict’which has been approved by the trial judge, this court is absolutely without authority to control the judgment of the trial court.

Judgment affirmed.
