Where an affidavit for a continuance shows that witnesses for whom subpoenas have issued are employed on a railway,'and fails to show that they reside within the jurisdiction of the court, or that there is, any certainty that their presence can ever be secured, this court will not interfere with the ruling of the trial judge refusing the continuance.</p> <p>2. A verdict and judgment will not be reversed, upon account of an alleged error in the ruling of the trial judge, when it is made apparent that the defendant could have sustained no injury therefrom.</p>
