*James C. Sharp v. The State of Ohio.
    Writ of error to the common pleas of Harrison county.
    
      Estep & Bingham, for the plaintiff in error.
    
      W. H. West, attorney-general, for the state.
   By the Court.

Without passing on other points in the case, the judgment must be reversed on the ground that the court below erred in charging the jury that “ if the general character of a witness for truth is successfully impeached, you are bound to disregard.! the whole of his testimony.”

Judgment reversed, and cause remanded for a new trial.
