Farmer v. The State.
    Simmons, J. — The showing for a continuance was incomplete, if not appearing that the application was not made for delay; it did not appear by affidavit or otherwise that the accused and his counsel were ignorant of the alleged newly discovered evidence until after the verdict; the law of involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act without due caution and circumspection was inapplicable to the facts of the case; the evidence for the State warranted a conviction for murder, and as the accused was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the commission of an unlawful act, he has no cause for complaint against the verdict.
