1. Under the ruling of the Supreme Court in Cone v. American Surety Co., 154 Ga. 841 (115 S. E. 481), the city court of Richmond county is a constitutional city court.

2. The motion for a new trial contained the usual general grounds only; there was some slight evidence authorizing the verdict; and, the trial court having approved the finding of the jury, this court is without authority to interfere.

Judgment affirmed.

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