Knight vs. The State of Georgia.
    The charge in this case was full and fair, and the verdict was supported by the evidence.
    
      (a.) Although a witness in a criminal case may have answered confusedly as to an alibi of defendant, yet if he was warned to be on his guard, and afterward swore positively and falsely as to the alibi, there was sufficient evidence of deliberation to warrant a verdict of guilty of perjury. Especially will the verdict not be disturbed when approved by the presiding judge.
    October 17, 1882.
   JACKSON, Chief Justice.
