Supreme Court of Georgia · decided 1906-03-22

<p>Accusatio'n of selling liquor. . Before Judge Hammond. City court of Griffin. December 26, 1905.</p>

Decided 1906-03-22

Cobb, P. J.

¶11. When an amendment is offered to a motion for a neW trial, it is the better practice to allow the amendment and overrule the motion, if no ground in the original or amended motion is meritorious. But a refusal to allow an amendment to a motion for a new trial will not work a reversal of the judgment, when the amendment offered did not contain a meritorious ground.

¶22. The evidence authorized the verdict, and no sufficient reason appears for reversing the judgment.

¶3 Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
