Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided April 15, 1916 · Beck
145 Ga. 147; 88 S.E. 564; 1916 Ga. LEXIS 215

Newsome v. Columbus Railroad

Opinion of the Court

Beck, J.

While the evidence in this case would have authorized the jury to return a verdict for a much larger sum than that actually awarded in favor of the plaintiff, it can not he said that the evidence required a verdict for a larger amount, nor that the amount awarded was so small as to show bias and prejudice on the part of the jury.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
