And each transaction must be ascertained by its own circumstances, and not by the reputation or character of the parties. 20 AmJur 300, § 319. It is a general rule that in a suit for negligence, evidence of similar acts or omissions on other and different occasions is not admissible. Hollomon v. Hopson, 45 Ga.

Power Co. v. Maddox, 113 Ga. App. 642 (1) ( 149 SE2d 393 ).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“if you find that obstructions hindered the view of Mr. Wright in his approach up until he reached the principal point of danger, located on the track, the precautions required of him in order to meet the standard of ordinary care increased as he approached the danger point.” (Emphasis supplied.) This charge was held to be error as it invaded the province of the jury.”
