McNatt v. Greyhound Corp.
McNatt v. Greyhound Corp.
Opinion of the Court
1. Where, on the trial of a wrongful death action in which the plaintiff contended that the act of the defendant’s bus driver in wrongfully ejecting her husband from the defendant’s bus precipitated a heart attack which caused his death some 17 days thereafter, one of the issues made by the pleadings and the evidence was whether plaintiff’s husband was intoxicated at the time he sought passage on the defendant’s bus, and where the defendant’s driver testified that he had on a previous occasion several months before carried the plaintiff’s husband on his bus; that on that
2. An objection to evidence on the ground that it has “nothing to do with the issue before the court” is equivalent to and no more than that an objection that such evidence is irrelevant. Such an objection is too general to be considered. Holliman v. State, 42 Ga. App. 322 (2) (155 SE 906).
3. The remaining special ground of the motion for a new trial is neither argued nor insisted upon in this court and is, therefore, treated as abandoned. The evidence authorized, if it did not demand, a verdict for the defendant, and no error of law appearing, the trial court did not err in denying a new trial.
Judgment affirmed.
