Lenox Drug Co. v. New England Jewelry Co.

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided June 25, 1915No. 6053PublishedCited by 7 opinions

Complaint; from city court of Nashville — Judge Christian. October 12, 1914.

1Opinion of the CourtBroyles, J.

1. While the construction of a written contract is a duty for the court to perform, a new trial will not be granted where the court submits the contract to the jury and it is properly construed by them. Main v. Simmons, 2 Ga. App. 821 (59 S. E. 85). In this case we think the jury properly construed the contract.

2. The defendant, having pleaded an express warranty, will not be heard to complain that the court charged upon this subject.

3. The other instruction complained of, when considered in connection with the entire charge and the evidence in the ease, contains no error.
