23918.
    MANESS v. THE STATE.
    Decided November 7, 1934.
    
      Porter & Mebcme, for plaintiff in error.
    
      James P. Kelly, solicitor-general, J. Ralph Rosser, contra.
   MacIntyre, J.

The motion for a new trial contains only the general grounds. The evidence authorized the jury to find “that the female yielded to the defendant’s solicitation for sexual intercourse by reason of persuasion and a pending engagement to marry her and a repetition of the'promise of marriage.” Youmans v. State, 16 Ga. App. 196 (2) (84 S. E. 833). See also the following authorities cited in the Youmans case: ■ Wilson v. State, 58 Ga. 329; Pough v. State, 7 Ga. App. 610 (67 S. E. 695). It was not error to overrule the motion for a new trial.

Judg'ment affirmed.

Broyles, G. J., and Guerry, J., concur.
