Action for damages. Before Judge Roan. DeKalb superior court. November 12, 1910.

1Opinion of the CourtHolden, J.

Where a verdict is not demanded by the law and the evidence, the first grant of a new trial will not be disturbed; and in such a case, where the presiding judge specifies in his order granting a new trial that the same is granted solely on a named ground of the motion for a new trial, wherein complaint is made that the court erred in a specified charge given the jury, this court will not determine whether or not there was error in such charge.
