Opinion
1. “A showing for a continuance upon the ground of the absence of a witness, is insufficient if it omits to state that the application is not made for the purpose of delay.” Newsome v. State, 61 Ga. 481; Penal Code (1910), § 987; Cobb v. State, 110 Ga. 314 (1) (35 S. E. 178), and citations.
2. The above-stated ruling disposes of the amendment to the motion for a new trial; and the general grounds of the motion, not having been argued or insisted upon in the brief of counsel for the plaintiff in error, are treated as abandoned.
Judgment affirmed.
