Lumpkin, J.
1.

It not appearing why this action was taken by the court, the presumption is that it was based upon a good and lawful reason.
'2. The evidence was sufficient to support the verdict, and there was no merit in the ground of the motion for a new trial relating to alleged newly discovered evidence. Judgment affirmed.
