Georgia Court of Appeals, 1974

Jones v. Hutchins

Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided May 15, 1974 · Bell, Quillian, Clark

207 S.E.2d 224; 131 Ga. App. 808; 1974 Ga. App. LEXIS 1564 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion

Bell, Chief Judge.

Plaintiff brought this suit to recover damages to her property based on negligence. A jury returned a verdict against the defendants and apportioned the damages equally between the two. Judgment was entered accordingly. The defendant Jones has appealed enumerating six errors. Held:

1. Five of the enumerations concern the court’s charge to the jury. Defendant Jones made no requests to charge and made no objections or exceptions to the charge. These enumerations will not be considered. Code Ann. § 70-207; Baxter v. Bryan, 122 Ga. App. 817 (178 SE 2d 724).

*809 Submitted February 5, 1974 Decided May 15, 1974. Gilbert, Wilkerson & Hill, Fred A. Gilbert, J. Carey Hill, for appellant. Swift, Currie, McGhee & Hiers, W. Wray Eckl, for appellees.

2. The verdict which apportioned the damages equally between the defendants was proper as this claim was for damages to property only. Code § 105-2011; McCalla v. Shaw, 72 Ga. 458.

Judgment affirmed.

Quillian and Clark, JJ, concur.
