1. An exception based upon the refusal .of the court to award a nonsuit will not be considered, where, subsequently thereto, the case is submitted to the jury, and, a verdict being rendered against the defendant, a motion' for a new trial is made' which presents the complaint that the verdict is contrary to the evidence and without evidence to support it. Atlantic Coast Line R. Co. V. Blalcek, 8 Ga. App. 44 (2) (68 S. E. 743) ; Henderson v. Maysville Guano Co., 15 Ga. App. 69 (82 S. E. 588) ; Central of Ga. Ry. Co. v. Brinson, 18 Ga.

This being true, the promise of the defendant was binding, and does not come within the inhibition of 'the statute of frauds. Baldwin v. Biers, 73 Ga. 739; Cruse v. Foster, 76 Ga. 723; Cordray v. James, 19 Ga. App. 156 (91 S. E. 239).
