Supreme Court of Georgia July 29, 1895 (Butts v. Whitney)

Simmons, Chief Justice.

Whitney sued Butts as maker and Simmons as indorser upon a promissory note payable to the order of Simmons and indorsed by him. Butts pleaded the general issue, and payment. The jury having found against Butts, he made a motion for a new trial, upon the grounds that the verdict was contrary to law and the evidence, and to a specified portion of the charge of the court.
