18527.
    Burt v. The State.
    Criminal Law, 17 C. J. p. 248, n. 3.
    Decided December 13, 1927.
    Seduction; from Colquitt superior court—Judge W. B. Thomas. September 22, 1927.
    
      James L. Bowling, for plaintiff in error.
    
      Clifford E. Eay, solicitor-general, contra.
   Luke, J.

1. In view of the counter-showing made by the State, the trial judge did not abuse his discretion in refusing to grant a new trial on the newly discovered evidence. Neither will the rejection of evidence as complained of in the third special ground require a new trial of the case.

2. The evidence convinced the jury of the defendant’s guilt; the trial judge approved their verdict; and, no reversible error of law being shown, this court will not say that the judge erred in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, O. J., and Bloodnvorth, J., concur.
