217 Ga. 593 (1962) 124 S.E.2d 279 FRASHIER v. THE STATE. 21486. Supreme Court of Georgia. Submitted January 8, 1962. Decided February 8, 1962. D. L. Lomenick, Jr., Robert E. Coker, for plaintiff in error. Earl B. Self, Solicitor-General, Eugene Cook, Attorney-General, Rubye G. Jackson, Assistant Attorney-General, contra. MOBLEY, Justice. That a constitutional question may not be raised for the first time in a motion for new trial is too well settled to be seriously questioned. Brown v. State, 114 Ga. 60 (2) (39 SE 873); Ga. & Fla. Ry. v. Newton, 140 Ga. 463 (3) (79 SE 142); Bentley v. Anderson-McGriff Hardware Co., 181 Ga. 813 (1) (184 SE 297); West v. Frick Co., 183 Ga. 182 (187 SE 868); Calhoun v. State, 211 Ga. 112 (84 SE2d 198). It is apparent from the face of the motion for new trial that the defendant made no effort whatever to raise the question during the trial of the case and he cannot be heard to raise it now. See Williams v. State, 210 Ga. 665 (82 *594 SE2d 217), cause remanded, 349 U.S. 375 (75 SC 814, 99 LE 1161), adhered to 211 Ga. 763 (88 SE2d 376), cert. den., 350 U.S. 950 (76 SC 326, 100 LE 828), reh. den., 350 U.S. 977 (76 SC 443, 100 LE 847). Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
