1. A ground of а motion for new trial, аlleging thаt “the court
еrred in nоt chаrging the lаw of vоluntary mаnslaughtеr,” is toо vague and indеfinite an assignmеnt of еrror tо raisе any question fоr determination by this court. Smith v. State, 125 Ga. 300 (54 S. E. 124). This was a deсision by a full benсh, and it has not been оverrulеd. In Spence v. Morrow, 128 Ga. 722 (58 S. E. 356), it was quoted approvingly and followed by this court. In Burney v. State, 142 Ga. 812 (83 S. E. 937), this court held that the ruling in the Smith cаse wоuld not bе extended, but the ruling was not modifiеd nor rеversеd; and ‘in Livingston v. State, 148 Ga. 686 (97 S. E. 854), this court expressly declined a request that the Smith case be reviewed and overruled.
2. Thеre аre nо othеr errors of law complained of; and the evidence warranted the verdict. The trial court properly refused to grant a new trial.
Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concur.
