COMMONWEALTH of Virginia.

v.Mary R.WHITE.

Supreme Court of the State of Georgia

Oct. 12, 1942.

Error to Circuit Court, Albemarle County; Lemuel F. Smith, Judge.

Before CAMPBELL, C. J, and HOLT, HUDGINS, GREGORY, BROWNING, and EGGLESTON, JJ.

Abram P. Staples, Atty. Gen, and W. W. Martin, Asst. Atty. Gen, for plaintiff in error.

F. D. G. Ribble and William H. White, Jr., both of Charlottesville, for defendant in error.

BROWNING, Justice.

Despite subtleties of reasoning and finely drawn distinctions (without, we think, a substantial difference), we conclude, as did the trial court, that this case is governed and controlled by the decision of this court in the case of Commonwealth v. Stringfellow, 173 Va. 284, 4 S.E.2d 357.

It seems unnecessary to say more. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

Affirmed.
