Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided December 13, 1917 · Beck
147 Ga. 450; 94 S.E. 554; 1917 Ga. LEXIS 259

Bailey v. Vitagraph-Lubin-Selig-Essanay Inc.

Opinion of the Court

Beck, P. J.

In a suit for unliquidated damages the jury are not com-

pelled to find the amount testified to by witnesses, though it be uncontroverted, where the amount is fixed by the opinion of the witness giving the testimony. Applying this rule to the present case, the verdict was not demanded, and the judgment granting a first new trial will not be disturbed.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
