6785.
    Head v. The State.
    Decided January 11, 1916.
    Accusation of misdemeanor; from Haralson superior court— Judge Bartlett. June 18, 1915.
    
      M. J. Head, W. T. Head, Taylor Smith, for plaintiff in error.
    
      J. R. Hutcheson, solicitor-general, contra.
   Wade, J.

The evidence was sufficient to authorize the conclusion reached by the jury, that the sale of cotton made by the minor son of the accused was made with the consent of the accused, and therefore by him. The evidence sufficiently established the other essential averments contained in the indictment, and the trial judge did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial, based on general grounds only.

Judgment affirmed.

Russell, O. J., dissents.
