Hughes v. State

Opinion of the Court

Luke, J.

1. Under the ruling of the Supreme Court in Cone v. American Surety Co., 154 Ga. 841 (115 S. E. 481), the city court of Richmond county is a constitutional city court.

2. The motion for a new trial contained the usual general grounds only; there was some slight evidence authorizing the verdict; and, the trial court having approved the finding of the jury, this court is without authority to interfere.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, O. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur.
