Lewis, J.

1. The amendment to the motion for a new trial, which complains ‍​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‍of errors of law alleged to have been committed by the court below, was not approved by the judge, nor were the allegations of fact contained ‍​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‍therein certified by him to be true. It was simply marked ‘ ‘ Allowed. ’ ’ This amendment, therefore, under the ruling of this court ‍​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‍in the case of Longv. Scanlan, 105 Oa. 424, will not be considered.

2. The remaining grounds of the motion for a new trial complain simply that the verdict was ‍​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‍contrary to evidence and without evidence to support it. There was evidence sufficient to sustain the findings of the jury, and the court below did not ‍​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‍err in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
