Bankston v. Barnesville Bank

Opinion of the Court

Luke, J.

2. Eor no reason pointed out in the record did the court err in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, O. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur. B. H. Manry, Herman M. Johnson, for plaintiff in error. Bolls & Barrett, contra.
