19799.
    MORRIS v. THE STATE.
    Decided July 9, 1929.
    
      T. M. Muni, for plaintiff in error.
    
      Joseph B. Duke, solicitor-general, contra.
   Luke, J.

Morris, a cropper, was convicted of disposing of a part of the crop grown by him before his landlord had received the landlord^ part of the crop. He moved for a new trial upon the usual general grounds and upon the ground that the venue was not proved. The evidence is amply sufficient to show that Morris committed the offense charged; and the venue was shown by the landlord’s testimony that defendant was a cropper on land “which was partly in the 108th and 111th districts, Georgia Militia, . . Hancock county.”

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, G. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur.
