1Opinion of the CourtLuke, J.

“ Fielder ” and “ Fielding. ” are, as a matter of law, idem sonans; and therefore the trial judge did not err in directing a verdict against the defendant’s plea of misnomer. See, in this connection, Biggers v. State, 109 Ga. 105 (1) (34 S. E. 210); Woody v. State, 113 Ga. 927 (1) (39 S. E. 297); Lovett v. State, 9 Ga. App. 232 (1) (70 S. E. 989); Watkins v. State, 18 Ga. App. 500 (89 S. E. 624), and cases cited. Judgment affirmed.

Broyles, O. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur.
