Etheridge v. Etheridge
Supreme Court of Georgia · Decided April 16, 1919 · Beck
149 Ga. 44; 99 S.E. 37; 1919 Ga. LEXIS 112

Etheridge v. Etheridge

Opinion of the Court

Beck, P. J.

1. This court will not control the discretion of the trial court in allowing temporary alimony, unless it has been flagrantly abused. Civil Code, § 2979.

2. That the court required the husband (the defendant) upon cross-examination to state, in answer to a question propounded by plaintiff’s counsel, what he would take for a tract of land of which he was the owner, was not such error as will require the grant of a new trial; though the proper measure of the value was the true market value of the land in question. Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
