1Opinion of the CourtTauro, C.J.
The defendant George T. Rand, Sr., appeals under G. L. c. 278, § § 33A-33G, from convictions on indictments for manslaughter, and for leaving the scene of an accident after causing personal injuries. The defendant assigns as error: (1) the failure to suppress evidence which the police gathered as a result of an alleged illegal search and seizure of an automobile which the defendant was operating at the time of his arrest for an unrelated offence; (2) the judge’s denial of his motions for directed verdicts; and (3) the judge’s denial of his motions for a new trial.
