25606.
    Munroe v. The State.
    Decided April 30, 1936.
    
      Edwards & Edwards, for plaintiff in error.
    
      Hal G. Hutchens, solicitor-general, contra.
   Broyles, C. J.

1. The charge to the jury on the subject of flight was authorized by the evidence.

2. A ground of the motion for new trial complains of alleged error in the charge on the law of assault with intent to murder; but since the defendant was convicted of assault and battery only, any error in the charge on the greater offense of assault with intent to murder is no cause for a new trial.

3. The other instructions complained of, when considered in the light of the entire charge and the facts of the case, show no reason for a reversal of the judgment.

4. The verdict was amply authorized by the evidence.

Judgment affirmed.

Maelnlyre and Querry, JJ., concur.
