    Manslaughter; from Cobb superior court—Judge Blair. January, 9, 1926.
    
      Lindley W. Camp, John T. Dorsey, for plaintiff in error. •
    
      John S. Wood, solicitor-general, contra.
   Bloodworth, J.

The motion for a new trial contains the gen-

eral grounds only. There is some evidence to support the verdict, and “whenever there is any evidence, however slight, to support a verdict which has been approved by the trial judge, this court is absolutely without authority to control the judgment of the trial court.” Bradham v. State, 21 Ga. App. 510 (94 S. E. 618).

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, C. J., and Luke, J., concur.
