Georgia Railroad v. Ivey

115 Ga. 1020; 42 S.E. 382; 1902 Ga. LEXIS 685

Georgia Railroad v. Ivey

Opinion of the Court

Simmons, C. J.

The evidence did not show any negligence on the part of the agents or employees of the defendant company, and the injury was the result of accident or a want of care on the part of the deceased. A verdict in favor of the plaintiff was, therefore, without evidence to support it, and should have been set aside.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring, except Lewis, J., absent.
