Dowie, 6 Ga. App. 858 ( 65 S. E. 1091 ), and Summers v. Southern Railway Co., 118 Ga. 175 ( 45 S. E. 27 ).
2. There was some evidence to support the finding of tlie. jury, - and, .the *523 trial judge having approved it, his discretion in overruling the motion for a new trial will not be controlled. Judgment affirmed.
