Autrey v. Georgia Northern Railway Co.
Supreme Court of Georgia
Autrey v. Georgia Northern Railway Co., 113 Ga. 618 (Ga. 1901)
38 S.E. 941; 1901 Ga. LEXIS 327
Simmons
Autrey v. Georgia Northern Railway Co.
Opinion of the Court
Where, on the trial of a suit against a railroad company for damages for deterioration in value of a car-load of corn, caused by the negligence of the company, the evidence shows the value of the corn when shipped and that it was damaged to the extent of one half of such value, it is error to grant a nonsuit on the ground that the plaintiff has failed to show either the-amount of the damage or that he sustained any damage at all.
Judgment reversed.
