WILSON v. THE STATE.

QUILLIAN, Presiding Judge.

The defendant appeals his voluntary manslaughter conviction. Held:

1. The trial judge correctly ruled that the deceased's character for violence could not be established by proof of prior specific acts. Rogers v. State, 138 Ga. App. 552 (1) ( 226 S.E.2d 748); Black v. State, 230 Ga. 614 (3) ( 198 S.E.2d 314); Music v. State, 244 Ga. 832 ( 262 S.E.2d 128).

2. It was not error to exclude testimony by witnesses as to what they believed to be the defendant's intent. Paul v. State, 144 Ga. App. 106 (7) ( 240 S.E.2d 600); Hawkins v. State, 25 Ga. 207 (1).

Judgment affirmed. Shulman and Carley, JJ., concur.

QUILLIAN, Presiding Judge.

SUBMITTED JANUARY 8, 1980 — DECIDED JANUARY 24, 1980.
