The Georgia Railroad & Banking Company v. McComb.
    The evidence being undisputed that the mule was killed by the running of the defendant’s locomotive, and the presumption of law being that there was negligence, and there being conflict in the evidence as to whether the observance of due diligence would have been effectual in preventing the injury, and consequently, whether such diligence was in fact observed, the verdict was not so palpably unwarranted as to justify the Supreme Court in setting it aside over the approval of the presiding judge in the court below.
    April 3, 1893.
    Argued at the last term.
