    Hatcher, alias Middlebrooks, v. The State.
    Criminal Law, 16 C. J. p. 1.049, n. 82; p. 1050, n. 84; 17 C. J. p. 271, n. 41.
    Decided May 12, 1926.
    Conviction of manslaughter; from Bibb superior court—Judge Matliews. March 6, 1926.
    
      T. A. Wallace, Wallace & Wallace, for plaintiff in error.
    
      Charles H. Garrett, solicitor-general, contra.
   Luke, J.

The defendant was indicted for the offense of murder and was convicted of voluntary manslaughter. The evidence amply authorized the conviction, and the several assignments of error upon the charge of the court are, when the charge is read in its entirety, wholly without merit. The defendant has had a legal trial, and his motion for a new trial was properly overruled.

Judgment affirmed.

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