Opinion

Broyles, C. J.

1. The record fails to show an abuse of discretion on the part of the trial judge in denying the defendant’s motion for a continuance of the case.

2. The verdict was amply authorized by the evidence, and the grounds of the motion for a new trial based upon alleged newly discovered evidence were properly overruled, as the evidence was cumulative and impeaching in its nature. The refusal to grant a new trial was not error.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke amd Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
