Opinion

Bloodworth, J.

While the evidence in this case is rather weak, the court cannot say as a matter of law that the verdict is without evidence to support it. “The verdict having been approved by the trial judge, under the repeated and uniform rulings of this court and of the Supreme Court, a reviewing court is powerless to interfere. When the verdict is apparently decidedly against the weight of evidence, the trial judge has a wide discretion as to granting or refusing a new trial; but, whenever there is any [329]*329evidence, however sligbt> to support a verdict which has been approved by the trial judge, this court is absolutely without authority to control the judgment of the trial court.” Bradham v. State, 21 Ga. App. 510 (94 S. E. 618), and citations.

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, G. J., and Luke, J., concur.
