Morris v. Georgia Railroad & Banking Co.

Supreme Court of Georgia
Morris v. Georgia Railroad & Banking Co., 97 Ga. 312 (Ga. 1895)
Lumpkin, Simmons

Morris v. Georgia Railroad & Banking Co.

Opinion of the Court

Simmons, C. J.

There was evidence upon the question of the defendant’s negligence from which the jury might have found it was at fault; and though the evidence suggests negligence upon the part of the person injured, inasmuch as it does not require a finding that, if negligent at all, his negligence amounted to the absence of ordinary care, the judge should have submitted the case to a jury instead of granting a nonsuit.

Lumpkin, J., dissenting.

Judgment reversed.

Glenn, Slaton & Phillips and J. W. Oox, for plaintiff. J. B. Gumming and Hillyer, Alexander & Lambd/in, for defendant.
