Luke, J.

“No judgment of a trial court in a criminal case shall be reversed by either ‍​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‍the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals for lack of proof of venue or of the time of the commission of the offence, save where the particular point has ‍​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‍been specifically raised by a ground of the original or amended motion for a new trial.” Ga. L. 1911, p. 150.

(a) Plaintiff in error in his brief “presents only one question ‍​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‍for determination, and that is whether or not the venue of the crime, of which the defendant was convicted, was properly established.”

(&) The question as to proof of venue not ‍​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‍.having been raised by the motion for a new trial, and the evidence authorizing the defendant’s conviction, it was not error to overrule the motion.

Judgment affirmed.
