Opinion

Wade, C. J.

“Where a case has been tried by a jury and a verdict rendered therein, and the losing party desires to test the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict, a motion for a new trial is indispensibje.” Mackin v. Blalock, 133 Ga. 550 (4) (66 S. E. 265, 134 Am. St. R. 220). See also Civil Code, § 6144. A review of the evidence supporting the verdict in this case being sought by direct bill of exceptions without a motion for a new trial, and there being no error of law complained of, the writ of error must be dismissed.
