The Atlanta & Florida Railroad Company v. Fuller.
    It affirmatively appearing from the evidence introduced for the defendant that the company’s servants were guilty of no negligence-in bringing about or causing the accident by which the plaintiff, a child of tender years, was injured, and there being no real or irreconcilable conflict between this evidence and that introduced by the plaintiff, which merely tended to show that the conductor permitted the boy to remain upon the train after being aware of his presence, and this mere tendency not being sufficient to overcome the conductor’s positive evidence to the contrary, the verdict was contrary to law and the evidence, and a new trial should have been granted.
    May 15, 1893.
