Georgia Railroad Company v. Ivey.
    Submitted May 1,
    Decided July 22, 1902.
    Action for damages. Before Judge Brinson. Warren superior court. August 31, 1901.
    
      Joseph B. & Bryan Gumming, for plaintiff in error.
    
      B. P. Davis, contra.
   Simmons, C. J.

The evidence did not show any negligence on the part of the agents or employees of the defendant company, and the injury was the result of accident or a want of care on the part of the deceased. A verdict in favor of the plaintiff was, therefore, without evidence to support it, and should have been set aside.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring, except Lewis, J., absent.
