American Mills Co. v. Pruitt-Barrett Hardware Co.
Decided April 11, 1923.

Opinion:
Bloodworth, J.
The court did not err in directing a verdict for the defendant. "The mere fact that there are conflicts in the testimony does not render the direction of a verdict in favor of a party erroneous,' when it appears that the conflicts are immaterial, and that, giving to the opposite party the benefit of the most favorable view of the evidence as a whole and of all legitimate inferences therefrom, the verdict against him is demanded." Dorris v. Farmers & Merchants Bank, 22 Ga. App. 514 (5), 518 (5) (96 S. E. 450), and citations.
Judgment affirmed.
Broyles, C. J., and Luke, J-., conour.
