Holland v. Williams
Court of Appeals of Georgia
Action for damages, from city court of Statesboro — Judge Brannen. September 20, 1907.
1Opinion of the CourtPowell, J.
This was a suit for damages on account of an assault and battery. The jury gave the plaintiff a small verdict. He moved for a new trial on the general grounds, and also for certain errors in the charge. The judge granted a new trial; and the defendant excepts. As the grounds of the motion for a new trial assigning errors of law are not meritorious, we conclude that the-grant was upon the general grounds. The defendant, being satisfied with the amount found against him, questions the discretion of the trial judge to interfere with the finding of the jury in assessing damages.
