ANDERSON v. KENNICKELL.

No. 6470.

Court of Appeals of Georgia

February 3, 1916

Syllabus by the Court.

The question of damages was one for the jury, there was a conflict in the evidence, and the verdict, having been approved by the trial judge, may not be set aside by this court, unless the amount of the verdict justifies the inference of gross mistake or undue bias. It is not for the reviewing court to say that a verdict is entirely inadequate, where nothing appears in the record to indicate that it was induced by prejudice or bias. See Civil Code 1910, § 4399. See also Southern Railway Co. v. Wright, 6 Ga.App. 172, 64 S.E. 703 (1); Pratt Engineering & Machine Co. v. Trotti, 142 Ga. 401, 83 S.E. 107 (5); Savannah, F. & W. Railway Co. v. Parish, 117 Ga. 893, 45 S.E. 280; Macon & Western R. R. Co. v. Winn, 26 Ga. 250; Georgia Southern Railroad Co. v. Neel, 68 Ga. 609 (2).

There is no such merit in any of the assignments of error in the bill of exceptions as to require the grant of a new trial.
