Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad v. Brown

Opinion of the Court

Lumpkin, J.

1. In the absence of a request to charge, the instructions given by the court on the subject of allowing damages on account of a permanent personal injury were not so deficient as to require the grant of a new trial.

2. The evidence was sufficient to support the verdict.

3. None of the grounds of the motion for a new trial require a reversal. Judgment on main bill of exceptions affirmed. Gross bill of exceptions

dismissed.

All the Justices concur, except Sill, J., not presiding.
