Head Matter:
Bateman v. The Western Union Telegraph Co.

Opinion:
Atkinson, J.
The charge of the court complained of in one of the grounds of the motion for a new trial, upon which a new trial was granted, was in conflict with the ruling of this court in Western Union Telegraph Company v. Georgia Cotton Co., 94 Ga. 444; and therefore the court was right in correcting its own error by setting aside the verdict. Judgment affirmed.
