37 Ga. App. 592 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1927
B. C. Fowler was convicted, in the city court of Dublin, of torturing, cruelly treating, kicking and slapping a minor
Under the acts of 1900 (Ga. L. 1900, p. 120), section 8, the judge of the city court of Dublin “may hold adjourned terms of said court when in his discretion the same is advisable, and the jurors summoned to the quarterly term immediately preceding such adjourned term shall serve at such adjourned term.” See, in this connection, Fussell v. State, 11 Ga. App. 843 (76 S. E. 597). Under the above authority and the record in this case, we can not say that the trial judge abused his discretion in refusing to vacate and set aside the verdict and judgment.
Judgment affirmed.
