Syllabus Opinion by the Court.

BROYLES, Chief Judge.

1. "Evidence as to the venue, though slight, is sufficient where there is no conflicting evidence.' Johnson v. State, 62 Ga. [299] 300 (1), 301; Porter v. State, 76 Ga. 658 (2), 660." Towler v. State, 24 Ga.App. 167 (3), 100 S.E. 42. Under the foregoing ruling, the evidence in the instant case sufficiently established the venue.

2. The verdict was authorized by the evidence, and the refusal to grant a new trial was not error.

Judgment affirmed.
