1. It was held in Southern Railway Co. v. Harbin, 135 Ga. 122 (68 S. E. 1103, 30 L. R. A. (N. S.) 404): “In an action against a railway company and its servant, to recover damages for the homicide of the plaintiff’s son solely in consequence of the servant’s misfeasance, where a verdict is returned finding the servant not liable, but finding in favor of the plaintiff against the railway company, such verdict should be set aside and a new trial granted.” Upon a review of the ruling made in that case, in which five Justices concurred and one dissented, the ruling is reaffirmed.
