Plaintiff claimed that defendant had negligently done so. The jury returned a verdict for defendant. The trial court thereafter sustained plaintiffs motion for a new trial. Defendant appeals. Other defendants were involved in the trial of the case but were eliminated on motion for nonsuit. This appeal is a contest only between plaintiff and General Construction Company and they will be referred to as plaintiff and defendant.
