Wright v. Hartsfield

Lewis, J. It is a waste of time and labor to bring to this court for review a judgment overruling a motion for a new trial based only on the general grounds that the verdict complained of is contrary to law and to the evidence, when, no matter how much conflict there is in the testimony, there is enough evidence to support the verdict.
