No. 31231.
Fulton Superior Court,
Motion for New Trial.

Verdict in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendant at the November Term, 1915, Superior Court of Fulton County, on November 22, 1915.

The defendant, the National Pencil Company, being dissatisfied with the verdict and judgment in said case, comes during said term of court, and before adjournment thereof, within thirty days from said trial, and moves the Court for a new trial upon the following grounds, to-wit:

1- Because the verdict is contrary to the evidence and without evidence to support it.

2- Because the verdict is strongly against the weight of the evidence.

3- Because the verdict is contrary to law and the principles of justice and equity.

4- Wherefore the National Pencil Company, the defendant, prays that these its grounds for a new trial be inquired into by the Court, and that a new trial be granted.

H. A. Alexander,
Attorney for Movant.
