15848.
    Holcombe v. The State.
    Decided December 9, 1924.
    Conviction of embezzlement; from Newton superior court— Judge Hutcheson. August 2, 1924.
    Application for certiorari was denied by the Supreme Court.
    
      Wallace Miller, for plaintiff in error.
    
      Claude C. Smith, solicitor-general, contra.
   Luke, J.

It is stated in the brief of counsel for the plaintiff in error that the single issue in this ease is whether the court erred in refusing to direct a verdict for the defendant. Under repeated rulings of the Supreme Court and of this court, it is never error for the judge to refuse to direct a verdict.

The general grounds of the motion for a new trial are not referred to in the brief of plaintiff in error, and are treated as abandoned.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, O. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur.
