Head Matter:
Austell et al. v. James.
July 29, 1895.
Complaint. Before Judge Gober. Cobb superior court. November term, 1894.
Mosley & Morris, for plaintiffs in error.
Olay & Blair, contra.

Opinion:
Lumpkin, J.
The exception to the charge "as a whole," and the assignments of error in connection therewith as to the "failure" of the court to charge so-and-so, are too vague and indefinite to present any distinct question for determination by this court; the refusal of the trial judge to give in charge to the jury the oral request submitted is not cause for a new trial; and it has not been made to appear to this court that the evidence, which was exceedingly confused and complicated, was insufficient to warrant the verdict. The plaintiffs in error have not successfully carried the burden imposed upon them by law, of affirmatively showing error entitling them to a new trial. Judgment affirmed.
