Central of Georgia Railway Company v. Hartley.
Decided April 7, 1920.
Action for damages; from Washington superior court — Judge Hardeman. November 24, 1919.
The action was for damages on account of the death of the plaintiffs husband, a farmer 48 years of age. The verdict was for $15,000. There was evidence to the effect that he made about $2,200 a year net from his farm, that he was in good health and his services were worth that sum.
W. M. Goodwin, Evans & Evans, for plaintiff in error.
Reuben R. Arnold, Jordan & Harris, contra.

Opinion:
Jenkins, P. J.
This case is controlled in nearly every particular by the rulings this day made in Central of Georgia Railway Co. v. Hartley, ante, 110, -which was a suit by another plaintiff growing out of the same transaction. In the instant case the judge did not abuse his discretion in overruling the motion for continuance. Nor do we feel justified in holding that the amount of the verdict is excessive. Por none of the reasons assigned do we feel authorized to set the verdict aside.
Judgment affirmed.
Stephens and Smith, JJ., concur.
