1. Tlie right of a municipal peace officer, within the jurisdiction of the municipality, to arrest without a warrant one who has violated an ordinance of the city in his presence, or who is endeavoring to escape, is settled by the statute law of this State and the repeated rulings of this court and the Supreme Court.

Penal Code, §§899, 901; Moses v. State, ante, 251 (64 S. E. 699).

3. No error appears, and the evidence supports the verdict.
