Toole v. Jones

90 S.E. 732, 19 Ga. App. 24, 1916 Ga. App. LEXIS 16
Court of Appeals of Georgia·Decided November 22, 1916·No. 7674·Published·Cited by 27 cases

Opinion

Broyles, J.

In this case the motion for a new trial contained only the usual general grounds. There was some slight evidence authorizing the verdict; and, the verdict having been approved by the trial judge, under the repeated and uniform rulings of this court and of the Supreme Court a reviewing court is powerless to interfere. When the verdict is apparently decidedly against the weight of the evidence, the trial judge has a wide discretion as to granting or refusing a new trial; but whenever there is any evidence, however slight, ¡to support a verdict’which has been approved by the trial judge, this court is absolutely without authority to control the judgment of the trial court.

Judgment affirmed.
