Bloodworth, J.

ā€œ In this case the motion for a new trial contained only the usual general grounds. There was some slight evidence authorizing the verdict; and the verdict having been approved by the trial judge, under the repeated and uniform rulings of this court and of the Supreme Court a reviewing court is powerless to interfere. When the verdict is apparently decidedly against the weight of the evidence, the trial judge has a wide discretion as to granting or refusing a new trial; but when there is any evidence, however slight, to support a verdict which has been approved by the trial judge, this court is absolutely without authority to control the judgment of the trial court.ā€ Bradham v. State, 21 Ga. App. 510 (94 . S. E. 618), and cit. See also Smith v. State, 91 Ga. 188 (17 S. E. 68).

Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, C. J., and Luke J., concur.
