Oldham, J.

¶1It has frequently been decided by this court that it will not interfere and reverse a judgment of the circuit court for refusing a new trial upon the mere weight of evidence. In this case the defendant below introduced no evidence, and that produced by the State fully warranted the verdict of the jury.

¶2Judgment affirmed.
