ON APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR REHEARING
DAVIDSON, Judge
Appellant insists that, inasmuch as the trial court permitted appellant’s counsel to orally move to postpone the trial of the case in order that he might have the benefit of the testimony of the doctor who examined the prosecuting witness, we should consider the question presented as though a sworn motion in writing had been presented.
The question thus presented is one involving the exercise of judicial discretion on the part of the trial court.
In view of the fact that we do not have before us the facts to which the doctor would have testified we are unable to say that the trial court was not authorized to overrule the appellant’s request.
We have again examined the record, and remain convinced that a correct conclusion was reached originally.
Appellant’s motion for rehearing is overruled.
