1. The court did not err in charging the jury that “when witnesses appear and testify, they are presumed to speak the truth, and are to be believed by the jury unless impeached in some method provided by law, or otherwise discredited in your judgment.” Parsons v. State, 32 Ga. App. 504 (1) (123 S. E. 922). See also Dent v. State, 14 Ga. App. 269 (3) (80 S. E. 548).
