p. 878
Phillip Gordon, Respondent, v. Herbert M. Withington and the Marietta Concrete Corporation, Appellants.

As to the defendant Withington, judgment reversed on the facts and a new trial granted, with costs to the appellant to abide the event, unless the plaintiff shall, within ten days, stipulate to reduce the verdict to the sum of $1,581.50 as of the date of the rendition thereof, in which event the judgment is modified accordingly and as so modified is affirmed, without costs of this appeal to either party. As to the defendant corporation judgment and order reversed on the facts and a new trial granted, with costs to the appellant to abide the event, on the ground that the finding of the jury that the defendant Withington was acting as the servant of the corporation at the time the accident took place is against the weight of the evidence. All concur.
