MATHIS v. R. H. SMALLINGS SONS, INC. (two cases).

PANNELL, Judge.

This is an appeal from the grant of summary judgments in favor of the defendant in two actions brought against the defendant for alleged injuries received when a crane, owned by the defendant and operated by its employee who was paid by defendant, collapsed while being used to erect light poles on an athletic filed owned by Wallace Memorial Association. The defendant contends (1) its crane and operator, by the name of Foy, were loaned without charge to the Central Georgia Electric Membership Corporation to be used in erecting the light poles under the latter's supervision and direction, and, (2) the crane so loaned was suitable for the task and no negligence was involved in this respect. Held:

The evidence adduced from the hearing on the motions on these two issues was in conflict. That this conflict may have been occasioned by conflicting testimony of the same witnesses, whether parties or not, does not alter the result. See Cooper v. Plott, 121 Ga. App. 488 (2) ( 174 S.E.2d 446); Merry Bros. Brick c. Co. v. Jackson, 120 Ga. App. 716 ( 171 S.E.2d 924); Fulghum Industries v. Pollard Lumber Co., 106 Ga. App. 49 ( 126 S.E.2d 432); Raven v. Dodd's Auto Sales c., 117 Ga. App. 416 ( 160 S.E.2d 633); Capital Auto Co. v. General Motors Acceptance Corp., 119 Ga. App. 186 ( 166 S.E.2d 584); Burnette Ford, Inc. v. Hayes, 124 Ga. App. 65 ( 183 S.E.2d 78); Brown v. Sheffield, 121 Ga. App. 383, 387 ( 173 S.E.2d 891).

Judgments reversed. Hall, P. J., and Quillian, J., concur.
