Brown v. State
Brown v. State
28 Ga. App. 465; 111 S.E. 696; 1922 Ga. App. LEXIS 607
Brown v. State
Opinion of the Court
1. There is no merit in either of the special grounds of the motion for a new trial.
2. While the law allows the trial judge to refuse or grant new trials in the exercise of a legal discretion, it gives the Court of Appeals no discretion in the matter, and this court can only grant new trials when errors of law have been committed, or when the trial judge has abused his discretion in refusing a new trial. In this case the evidence authorized the verdict, and no error of law appears.
Judgment affirmed.
