Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Defendant's motion for judgment of nonsuit was properly overruled. The only evidence was that offered by the State. It was sufficient, if accepted by the jury, to support findings as to all. essential matters alleged in the warrant. Assignments of error relating to rulings on evidence and portions of the charge do not disclose prejudicial error. Discussion of these assignments in detail is dpemed unnecessary. The verdict and judgment will not be disturbed.
No error.
