Annotations
JUDICIAL DECISIONS Appeal of verdict contrary to evidence. - In a quo warranto case involving issues of fact, where upon the trial there is a verdict disposing of those issues, and the party to whom the finding of the jury is adverse makes a motion for a new trial, one of the grounds being that the
verdict is contrary to the evidence, which motion upon hearing is overruled, the losing party may except to the judgment overruling the party’s motion and bring the case to the Supreme Court for review. Henderson v. Young, 179 Ga. 540, 176 S.E. 388, 1934 Ga. LEXIS 331 (1934).
