Jenkins, J.

1. “This court can not consider exceptions to the refusal of the trial judge to comply with ‍​​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‍written requests to charge, unless it is made to appear that they were tendered to the court before the jury retired to consider the case.” Seaboard Air-Line Ry. v. Barrow, 18 Ga. App. 261 (89 S. E. 383). It not being so ‍​​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‍made to appear in this case, the first and second grounds of the amendment to the motion for a new trial are without merit.

2. “Where a fact is established by undisputed evidence, it is not error ‍​​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‍for the judge, in his charge to the jury, to assume or intimate that the fact has been proved.” Dexter Banking Co. v. McCook, 7 Ga. App. 436 (67 S. E. 113); Ga., Fla. & Ala. Ry. Co. v. Jernigan, 128 Ga. 501 (57 S. E. 791). The third ‍​​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‍ground of the amendment to the motion for a new trial is without merit, since it comes properly within this rule.

3. There being sufficient evidence to authorize the verdict, which has the approval of the trial, ‍​​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‍judge, this court is without authority to set the verdict aside.

Judgment affirmed.

Wade, C. J., and Luke, J., concur.
