Brown v. The State.
Decided September 1, 1914.
Indictment for sale of liquor; from Twiggs superior court—Judge Hawkins. April 27, 1914.
Hal B. Wimberly, for plaintiff in error.
E. L. Stephens, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Russell, C. J.
1. An assignment of error that the verdict is contrary to law is too general and indefinite to present to a reviewing court any question of law except that the verdict, for want of any evidence to support it, is contrary to law.
2. The evidence on behalf of the prosecution authorized the conviction of the defendant, and the trial judge did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial, based only upon the usual general grounds.
Judgment affirmed.
Roan, J., absent.
