Opinion:
Evans, J.
1. A complaint that a sentence is excessive can not properly be-made a ground of a motion for a new trial. Bellinger v. State, 116 Ga. 545; McCollum v. State, 119 Ga. 308.
2. The evidence supported the verdict, and the trial judge did not abuse-his discretion in refusing to grant a new trial.
Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concur.
