Section 12-22-241 Consideration of automatic appeals; reversal of judgment and granting of
new trial. In all cases of automatic appeals, the appellate court may consider, at its discretion,
any testimony that was seriously prejudicial to the rights of the appellant and may reverse
thereon, even though no objection was made thereto. The appellate court shall consider all
of the testimony; and, if upon such consideration it is of opinion the verdict is so decidedly
contrary to the great weight of the evidence as to be wrong and unjust and that upon that
ground a new trial should be had, the court shall enter an order of reversal of the judgment
and grant a new trial, though no motion to that effect was presented in the court below. (Acts
1943, No. 249, p. 217, §10.)...

judgment permitting the change of principal residence of a child, a court may consider a proposed

plea, may put in issue the fact of indebtedness or the existence of the lien, or both, and
