Mynahan v. Atlanta Steel Company et al.
    
    October 1, 1914.
    Equitable petition. Before Judge Ellis. Eulton superior court. June 7, 1913.
    
      Smith & Hastings, for plaintiff.
    
      Payne & J ones and Anderson & Rountree, for defendants.
   Fish, C. J.

The court erred in giving to the jury the instructions set forth and excepted to in grounds 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the amending motion for a new trial, for the reason that there was no evidence to authorize such instructions, and they were obviously hurtful to the plaintiff below, the movant in the motion. A new trial should have been granted for giving the instructions above referred to.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur.
