SWANN v. THE STATE.
Decided July 12, 1922.
Indictment for possession of liquor; from Gwinnett superior court — Judge Fortson. April 19, 1922.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The evidence authorized the defendant's conviction. The only special- ground of the motion for a new trial is based upon alleged newly discovered evidence, the material part of which was hearsay and inadmissible; and, moreover, this alleged evidence is not such as would likely cause a different result should a new trial be granted. The court therefore did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial.
•Judgment affirmed.
