THE MACON TELEGRAPH: THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 25, 1901
n
-
The first brewery of Jos.
Schlitz was a hut, but the
beer that was brewed there
was honest. That was fifty
years ago. Today the mag
nificent Schlitz brewery
forms a monument to that
honesty.
From the very beginning
the main object has been to
attain absolute purity. In
Schlitz beer pure yeast was
first introduced in America.
In the Schlitz brewery are
all the inventions men have
made for protecting beer
from impurities.
Schlitz beer is even cooled
in filtered air; then it is fil
tered, then sterilized. It is
well aged to avoid the cause
of biliousness.
Ask your physician about
Schlitz, the beer that made
Milwaukee famous.
Call iot tho lh’wcry Bottling.

759. Qwinn, administrator, v». Almanfi
et al. Practice.
Cobb, J.—When a bill of exceptions
recites that a demurrer to a petition
was sustained and that the plaintiff
excepted to this ruling, arid the certifi
cate of the Judge, Instead of verifying
without qualification the bill of excop*
tlons as written, embraces a statement
to the effect that, before the coC$4
passed upon the demurrer, counsel for
the plaintiff informed the court that
they did not care to submit any argu
ment nor resist the demurrer, and that
the Judge signed the order of dismissal
“considering It a consent order," such
bill of exceptions Is not duly certified,
and presents no question for determi
nation by the supreme court.
Writ of error dismissed. A1J concur.
A. C. McCalls, for plaintiff. W. W.

Cobb. J.—Even If tho charges com
plained of were not entirely accurate
In the statements of law therein con
tained. they were not, in view of tbo
evidence, prejudicial to the defendants;
The newly discovered evldenc was
somewhat cumulative and impeaching
In character, and Its does not appear
from the ground of tho motion based
thereon that the facts set out In such
evidence could not, by the exercise of
proper diligence, have been- discovered
before or during thu trial. The evi
dence warranted the verdict, and no
cause for reversing the Judgment over
ruling the motion for a new trial has
been shown.

767. Bowden vs. State. Before Judge
Gober. (Jordon superior court.
Fish, J.—li That the Judge, during
the trial of a mlsdemanor case and
while the evidence was being submit
ted, In the presence and without ob
jection from counsel for the accused,
allowed the jury to disperse during a
night recess, Is not, after a verdict of
guilty, cause for a new trial, when
there 1b no evidence of any attempt to
influence the Jury or of any improper
conduct on their part. (Little, J„ dis

2. A verdict chn not be Impeached
by anything coming from a Juror, di
rectly or Indirectly. Southern It. Co.
vs. Sommer, 112. Ga. 512.
3. Newly discovered evidence, when
purely Impeaching In Its character. Is
not cause for a new trial.
Grounds of a motion for a new
trial not approved by the trial Judge
can not be considered by the supreme
court.
An assignment of error upon the
admission'of evidence can not be con
sidered by this court, unless the evi
dence admitted, or the substance there
of, be set out In the motion for a new
trial or attached thereto as an ex
hibit.
Where one of the grounds of a
motion for a new trial In a criminal
case Is that two of the Jurors wh<
rendered the verdict had each prevl
ously* expressed an opinion adverse to
the Innocence of the accused, the trial
judge, as to this ground of the motion,
occupies the position of a trior, and
this court will not undertake to control
his discretion In the matter, unless It
clearly appears that It has been abused.
Ray vs. State, 15 Ga. 223; Costly
State, 19 Ga. 614: Vann vs. 8tate, 83

vs. State, 106 Ga. 372: Hackftt vs.
State. 108 On. 40; Roberts vs. State. 110
Ga. 253. Considering the evidence sub
mitted upon this question, there does
not appear to have been any abuse of
discretion In overruling this ground of
the motion.
7. The evidence was sufficient to au
thorise the verdict and there was no
error in overruling the motion for a
new trial.

Fish, J.—This being an action by
legatees against an executor predicated
upon his alleged failure to collect cer
tain notes due to his testator by a third
person, and the evidence showing af
firmatively that this penun was In
solvent. and not showing that the ex
ecutor could, by due diligence, have
collected anything upon these notes,
the verdict against him was unwar
ranted. Tho general grounds of tho
motion for a new trial ought to have
been sustained, but the *pccUl grounds
of the aame were without merit.

premises and then abandoned the aame
from fear of personal violence on the
part of the defendant.
Taking the evidence most strongly

cited. While such transferee’s claim
cannot be enforced as for purchase-
money (Hunt v. Harbor, E0 Ga. 746),
he does occupy the position of a cred
itor of the vendee.
2. The above is true although no
