Opinion of the Court — Harper

HARPER, Judge.

Appellant was prosecuted and convicted of the offense of manslaughter, and his punishment assessed at two years confinement in the State penitentiary.

The first three grounds in the motion for the new trial complain of the introduction of certain testimony, and the exclusion of other testimony. As these matters are not presented in any way except in the motion for a new trial, they can not, under the law, be reviewed by us.

The fourth, the only remaining, ground in the motion complains of the action of the court in not submitting the question to the jury of the suspension of the sentence. As the charge copied in the record does submit this question to the jury, and, of course, under such circumstances this ground in the motion presents no error.
