West v. Atlanta & West Point Railroad

The first grant of a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was contrary to the charge of the court, will not be disturbed, unless the verdict was demanded by the evidence, and the court below abused the legal discretion given' him by law, in making such grant; such was not the case here. 56 Ga., 398 ; 6 Id., 31, 222 ; 60 Id., 120, 154, 594.
