      Moses Wright, solicitor-general, contra.
   Lumpkin, P. J.

No complaint being made of any ruling at the trial, and there being evidence warranting a finding that the accused was guilty of the offense with which he was charged, his conviction must stand, since the verdict of the jury has met with the approval of the presiding judge. It is, however, a case in which, apparently, his discretion would have been wisely exercised in granting a new trial. Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
