Collins v. Broom

94 S.E. 645, 21 Ga. App. 420, 1917 Ga. App. LEXIS 614

Opinion

Bloodworth, J.

1. “This court, by the constitutional amendment creating it, is limited in jurisdiction to the correction of errors in law alone, and therefore has no power to grant a new trial on the ground that the verdict is strongly contrary to the weight of evidence, if there is any evidence at all to support it.” Edge v. Thomas, 9 Ga. App. 559 (71 S. E. 875); Randall v. Bell, 12 Ga. App. 614 (77 S. E. 1132) ; Toole v. Jones, 19 Ga. App. 24 (90 S. E. 732) ; McGarty v. Keys, 19 Ga. App. 494 (91 S. E. 875).

Decided December 13, 1917.

Trover; from city court of Savannah — Judge Freeman. March 19, 1917.

H. G. Dukes, J. P. Dukes, for plaintiff in error. ■ W. B. Hewlett, B. L. Golding, contra.

2. The motion for new trial embraced the usual general grounds only. There was ample evidence to support the verdict, and the court properly refused a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, P. J., and Harwell, J., concur.'
