13094.
    Todd v. The State.
    Decided February 14, 1922,
    Conviction of manslaughter; from Tattnall superior court — Judge Sheppard. October 22, 1921.
    
      H. H. Elders, E. C. Collins, for plaintiff in error.
    
      J. Saxton Daniel, solicitor-general, contra.
   Broyles, C. J.

1. Under the evidence and the defendant’s statement to the jury, the failure of the court to charge upon the law of involuntary manslaughter was not error.

2. The remaining grounds of the amendment to the motion for a new trial are without substantial merit.

3. The verdict was amply supported by the evidence, and the court did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial.

■Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodworth, J.J., concur.
