Collins v. Broom.

Opinion:
Bloodworth, J.
1. "This court, by the constitutional amendment creating it, is limited in jurisdiction to the correction of errors in law alone, and therefore has no power to grant a new trial on the ground that the verdict is strongly contrary to the weight of evidence, if there is any evidence at all to support it." Edge v. Thomas, 9 Ga. App. 559 (71 S. E. 875); Randall v. Bell, 12 Ga. App. 614 (77 S. E. 1132) ; Toole v. Jones, 19 Ga. App. 24 (90 S. E. 732) ; McGarty v. Keys, 19 Ga. App. 494 (91 S. E. 875).

H. G. Dukes, J. P. Dukes, for plaintiff in error.

2. The motion for new trial embraced the usual general grounds only. There was ample evidence to support the verdict, and the court properly refused a new trial.
