Cólcock, J.

¶1The Court concurs unanimously with the presiding Judge; qud as their views of the subject have been very fully expressed in the case of Nimmons v. Moye,* which is referred to by him, as well as in several others, it would be a *542work of supererogation, again to travel over the ground. The „• , , . , ■ T- ■ , ■ motion ror a new trial is dismissed.

Johnson, J. and Evans, J. concurred.
