CROWLEY v. THE STATE.
Argued March 4, 1968
Decided June 5, 1968
Rehearing denied June 14, 1968

Opinion:
Eberhardt, Judge.
1. This is an appeal from the judgment on the verdict, though there was a motion for new trial which was overruled and from that ruling there is no appeal. In overruling the motion the trial court adjudged that the general grounds as well as the special grounds were not meritorious.
Since there is no appeal from that ruling it is now the law of the case. Hill v. Willis, 224 Ga. 263, 268 (4) (161 SE2d 281). As we read the Hill case this is the only result possible, for in effect, the appeal from the judgment on the verdict, both as to general and special grounds, is but an appeal from something which appellant has allowed to become the law of the case in failing to appeal from the overruling of the motion for new trial.
Judgment affirmed.
Felton, C. J., and Whitman, J., concur.
James I. Parker, for appellant.
Wayne W. Gammon, Solicitor, for appellee.
