    Palmer v. The State.
   Broyles, C. J.

1. A ground of a motion for a new trial, complaining of the court’s ruling upon the admissibility of specified testimony, which does not state the name of the witness whose testimony was admitted pr excluded, is too incomplete to be considered. Hunter v. State, 148 Ga. 566 (1) (97 S. E. 523); Adams v. State, 22 Ga. App. 252 (1) (95 S. E. 877), and citations. Under this ruling the 1st. 2d and 3d grounds of the amendment to the motion for a new trial cannot be considered.

2. Under the facts of the case the failure of the court to charge the law of confessions was not error, there being no appropriate written request so to charge. Cook v. State, 9 Ga. App. 208 (2) (70 S. E. 1019).

(a) This case is easily distinguished by its facts from Rucker v. State, 2 Ga. App. 140 (58 S. E. 295), relied on by counsel for plaintiff in error, where this court held, in substance, that under the particular facts of that case, the alleged confession of the accused not having been corroborated by proof of the corpus delicti, the court erred, even in the absence of an appropriate written request, in failing to instruct the jury upon the law of confessions. Moreover, the decision in the Mucker case is apparently in conflict with the ruling of the Supreme Court on this subject. See Thomas v. State, 150 Ga. 269 (103 S. E. 244), and citations.
