Citation | 118 S.E. 474,30 Ga.App. 585 |
Parties | BECKER v. RUDULPH. |
Court | Georgia Court of Appeals |
Error from Superior Court, Camden County; J. I. Summerall, Judge.
Action by F. T. Rudulph against J. H. Becker. Judgment for plaintiff, and defendant brings error. Affirmed.
Cowart & Vocelle, of St. Marys, for plaintiff in error.
1. This suit was upon an open account. The defendant demurred upon the ground that no proper itemized account was attached. The court properly overruled the demurrer.
2. The evidence authorized a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, which verdict has the approval of the trial judge. The evidence in this case distinguishes it from the case of Norton v. Rourke, 130 Ga. 600, 61 S.E. 478, 18 L.R.A. (N. S.) 173, 124 Am.St.Rep. 187. In the case we have here for review the defendant is alleged to have obtained the services of the plaintiff to go by water in his boat from St. Marys, Ga., to Fernandina, Fla., and bring a doctor to St. Marys to treat a person other than the employing agency. If this were a suit by the doctor against the plaintiff in this case for services rendered to the ill person, the Norton Case would be helpful to the plaintiff.
3. Error is assigned upon the following excerpt from the charge of the court:
The defendant has had a legal trial, and the jury, as they were authorized to do, determined the facts against him. It was not error to overrule the motion for a new trial.
Judgment affirmed.
