Western & Atlantic Railroad v. Bowen
Western & Atlantic Railroad v. Bowen
Opinion of the Court
1. “A correct statement of law embraced in a charge to the jury is not erroneous because the court failed in the same connection to give to the jury other appropriate instructions. Lucas v. State, 110 Ga. 756 (36 S. E. 87); Central of Ga. Ry. Co. v. Grady, 113 Ga. 1045 (3), 1046 (39 S. E. 441); Keys v. State, 112 Ga. 392 (4), 397 (37 S. E. 762, 81 Am. St. R. 63); Rawlins v. State, 124 Ga. 31 (16), 50 (52 S. E. 1).” Hill v. State, 18 Ga. App. 259 (98 S. E. 351). See also Nail v. State, 125 Ga. 234 (2) (54 S. E. 145); Killian v. State, 19, Ga. App. 750 (2) (92 S. E. 227); Barron v. State, 12 Ga. App. 342 (2) (77 S. E. 214). If the substantial law covering the issues made by the pleadings and evidence is given in charge, and more specific instructions are desired, a timely and appropriate written request therefor should be made. Anthony v. State, 6 Ga. App. 784 (3) (65 S. E. 816).
2. In the brief of the plaintiff in error there is no reference to the general grounds of the motion for a new trial, nor is there a general insistence on all the grounds of the motion. We will therefore treat the general grounds as having been abandoned.
Judgment affirmed.
