    Parker vs. The State of Georgia.
    1. A showing for a continuance based on the absence of a witness should show what was expected to be proved by such witness, in order that the court might judge of its competency and materiality. Code, §3522.
    2. Newly discovered evidence which was cumulative, and would have been admissible only to impeach the character of the state’s witnesses, will not authorize the g?ant of a new trial. Code, §3716.
    3. If the jury believed the account given by the state’s witnesses, there was ample evidence to require their finding; and the verdict having been approved by the presiding judge, this court will not interfere.
    Judgment affirmed.
    April 2, 1885.
   Hall, Justice.
