Mynahan v. Atlanta Steel Co.

Opinion of the Court

Fish, C. J.

The court erred in giving to the jury the instructions set forth and excepted to in grounds 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the amending motion for a new trial, for the reason that there was no evidence to authorize such instructions, and they were obviously hurtful to the plaintiff below, the movant in the motion. A new trial should have been granted for giving the instructions above referred to.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur.
