126 Ga. 462; 55 S.E. 229; 1906 Ga. LEXIS 412

Hughes v. Georgia Railway & Electric Co.

Opinion of the Court

Lumpkin, J.

The evidence in this ease did not sustain the allegations of the declaration and amended declaration, and the plaintiff was not entitled to have the case submitted to the jury. The proper judgment, however, should have been one of nonsuit, rather than a dismissal on the pleadings and evidence. The judgment is affirmed, with direction that it be so altered as to be one of nonsuit.

Judgment affirmed, with direction.

All the Justices concur, except Fish, O. J., absent.
