Smith v. American Oil Company

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Gardner, J.,

There are nine special grounds. Counsel for both parties state, and we think correctly so, that special grounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 are based on exceptions to the charge of the court dealing with the alleged negligence of the deceased in riding on the fender of the truck of the packing company. Thus they fall into an aggregate group, which in effect is governed in a greater or lesser degree by the same legal principles. They will be discussed together in this division of the opinion. It might be well to state here these special grounds and the exceptions thereto.
