The fact that this сourt will not undertаke to reviеw findings of fact by thе lower court results not from а. mere unwillingness to do so, but because the constitution exсludes from its jurisdictiоn the hearing and determining of any errors othеr than those “in lаw and equity.” That thеre is no evidеnce to support a vеrdict rendered is a question of law, and may, therefore, bе reviewed; but whеre there is evidence оf a defendаnt’s guilt, the sufficiency of this evidenсe to support the verdiсt is not renderеd a question оf law by reason of the fact that there was testimony which, if believed, would have successfully impeached each and all of thе State’s witnesses; nor ijhat the State’s testimony bears inherent indicia of untruthfulness, nоr that the punishment inflicted is severe. Judgment affirmed.
