    Criminal Law. — Appeal.—Grounds for New Trial — Review.—In a criminal prosecution tried by the court, a motion for new trial ’for insufficiency of the’ evidence-must attack' tbe finding of the court;-and a mdtion charging merely- that the-Judgment of the ppurt was contrary to law and not sustained by sufficient evidence presents no question for review.
    From Marion Criminal Court (50,525); James A. Collins, Judge,- ■ . ;
    Prosecution by the State of Indiana against Phil Lytle. From a judgment of conviction, the defendant appeals.

Appellant was tried by the' court and convicted upon an affidavit charging him with a violatioii of Acts’ 1917 p. 15, §8356a et setf; ’Burns ’ Siipp. 1918, known ás the Prohibition Law. He was sentenced’to pay a fine of $100, and" to imprisonment at the Indiana State Farm for a period of thirty days. His motion for a new trial was overruled, and this ruling is ássignéd as error.

The causes for which a new trial waS prayed are: “ (1) That the judgment of the courtis éoíitráry to law. (2) That the judgment of "the court is contrary to the evidence. (3) That the judgment of-the court is nótj’sustained !by sufficient,-evidence.’’ By1 these alleged -causes,, we infer that .’áppeílgrit is seeking^íhe benefit of sübd.- 9, §2158 Burns 1914, .Acts 1905/p,r.584, §282,. which provides that á :new' trial shall be' granted “when the verdict qf the jury or the'finding'qf,the Court is-¡contrarydo law, or is'.not sustained by sufficient evidence.” ‘ ‘ .......- '

It will be noticed that neither of the cáuses assigned for • a new- trial challenge the finding of the court. They are 'directed-against ■ the'judgment,'to-’which there wkA objection or'exception to its form'-or, substance.-. -Under these assignments appellant; insists that there Was no-evidence to warrant -a conviction., However this may be this insistence is in support of causes not grounds for a new trial in a criminal case.

No error is presepted. and the judgment is affirmed.
