Opinion

majority opinion

Harris, J.

1. The testimony had in the case below supports tlie verdict, and we discover nothing which calls for the grant of a new trial.

2. The grounds upon which an arrest of judgment was sought below, if they have any substantial weight at all, should have been taken before the cause was submitted to the jury. They certainly, under our Code and practice, cannot be considered on a motion to arrest the judgment. Judgment affirmed.
