Rehearing Denied Jan. 10, 1921.
Error from Superior Court, Chatham County; P. W. Meldrim, Judge.
Action by R. D. O'Dell against the Terry Shipbuilding Corporation. Judgment for plaintiff, and defendant brings error. Affirmed.
Osborne, Lawrence & Abrahams and Hitch & Denmark, all of Savannah, for plaintiff in error.
Oliver & Oliver, of Savannah, for defendant in error.
1. The petition as finally amended was not subject to any ground of the demurrer interposed, and the court did not err in so ruling.
2. In view of the facts stated in the certificate of the judge, it does not appear that he abused his discretion in overruling the defendant's motion for a continuance.
3. In the light of the facts of the case and the charge of the court in its entirety, no reversible error appears in any of the excerpts from the charge as to which complaint is made, or in the refusal of the court to give the various requested charges.
4. No reversible error appears in any of the court's rulings upon the admissibility of evidence.
5. The verdict was authorized by the evidence, and, though large ($25,410), cannot be held by this court to be excessive.
6. For no reason assigned was the overruling of the motion for a new trial error.
Judgment affirmed.
