Philzow vs. The State of Georgia.
    1. The evidence not only sustained, but required, the verdict.
    2. One ground of the motion for a new trial, was the discovery of new testimony, the entire object of which was to impeach a witness for the state. The defendant stated in his accompanying affidavit that the state’s witness had sworn falsely, that he was so surprised thereby that he was unprepared to meet such testimony, and that “these facts have more fully come to defendant’s knowledge since the trial.” There was no affidavit of counsel:
    
      Held, that this was no such newly discovered evidence as would warrant a new trial. 66 Ga., 690.
    Judgment affirmed.
    March 13, 1883.
   Hall, Justice.
