Wilson v. Patterson
Wilson v. Patterson
Opinion of the Court
1. In a case in which the verdict was not demanded by the law and the evidence, the Court of Appeals will not disturb the first grant of a new trial, though based upon a single ground complaining of failure of the court to give in charge to the jury a particular principle of law; and will not determine whether the trial court was right in granting the motion on the special ground. Cox v. Grady, 132 Ga. 368 (64 S. E. 262), and cit.; Civil Code (1910), §§ 6204, 6088.
2. The main bill of exceptions assigns error upon the first grant of a new trial, based upon a single special ground of the motion for a new trial, and the cross-bill of exceptions assigns error upon the overruling of the remaining grounds of the motion. The judgment on both bills of exceptions is Affirmed.
