1. “ What are commonly called the general grounds of a motion for a new trial, that is, those complaining that the verdict is contrary to the evidence, without evidence to support it, etc., contain no recital of fact which requires á verification by the trial judge in order to authorize such grounds to be entertained.” Harris v. State, 120 Ga. 196 (47 S. E. 573).
