Shaw v. State

Shaw v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided December 5, 1923 · Broyles
31 Ga. App. 309; 120 S.E. 648; 1923 Ga. App. LEXIS 917

Shaw v. State

Opinion of the Court

Broyles, ó. J.

1. The exceptions pendente lite (complaining of the overruling of a demurrer to the indictment) cannot-be considered, as the main bill of exceptions contains no assignment of error upon the exceptions pendente lite or upon the judgment of the court overruling the demurrer. Nor can the overruling of a demurrer to an indictment be a ground of a motion for a new trial.

2. The verdict was authorized by the evidence, and none of the grounds of the amendment to the motion for a new trial which were approved by the court (the disapproved grounds not being considered) requires a reversal of the judgment below.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
