Nash v. The State.
    Submitted October 15,
    Decided November 7, 1906.
    Accusation of stabbing. Before Judge Bush. City court of Miller county. July 7, 1906.
    
      W. I. Geer, by Z. D. Harrison, for plaintiff in error.
    
      N. L. Stapleton, solicitor, contra.
   Lumpkin, J.

1. The court having charged that in order to convict the defendant they must believe him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and that if they had a reasonable doubt arising from the evidence or want of evidence submitted in the case, it would be their duty to acquit, it furnished no ground for a new trial that he did not proceed further and define and explain to the jury what constitutes a reasonable doubt. Nelms v. State, 123 Ga. 575, 578.

•2. The evidence was sufficient to support the verdict, and there was no error in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justiees concur.
