The bill of exceptions in this ease shows that three separate eases against ‍‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‍the same defendant were by consent tried together; that there were three separate verdicts of guilty, and three judgments; and by this one bill of exceptions ‍‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‍the defendant seeks to have all three of these judgments set aside. This is not permissible, “ There is no authority of law for excepting in the same motion ‍‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‍for new trial to the rendition of two verdicts upon the trial of two separate’ criminal cases. On the contrary, to the setting aside of either ‍‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‍of such verdicts, separate and independent motions are requisite.” Dickey v. State, 101 Ga. 572 (28 S. E. 980). And see Futch v. Mathis, 148 Ga. 558 (97 S. E. 516); Paschal v. Morgan, 19 Ga. App. 245 (91 S. E. 285), and citations; Chambers v. Walker, 26 Ga. ‍‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‍App. 586 (106 S. E. 811).

Writ of error dismissed.

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