Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Illegitimate Child — Action for Support — Evidence Supports the Verdict. In a proceeding in bastardy to compel the father to assist in the support of his illegitimate child, the evidence examined and held to support the verdict.</p> <p>2. Same — Motion for New Trial — Contradictory Evidence by Witness — Discretion of Trial Court. And where, in such a proceeding, a witness testified on the hearing of a motion for new trial that part of his testimony given on the trial of the case was false, it was in the sound discretion of the trial court whether a new trial should be granted.</p> <p>3. New Trial — Newly Discovered Evidence — When Insufficient to Warrant New Trial. Ordinarily a new trial is not allowed on the ground of newly discovered evidence when such evidence seems to be competent only for the purpose of impeaching witnesses of the opposite party, or, when it is merely cumulative.</p> <p>4. Assignment op Error — Not Well-founded. Various assignments of error considered and held not to be well-founded.</p>
