Columbia,
    
      November Term, 1814.
    Isaac Poole ads. The State.
    Egan, for the Motion,
    
    Stark, Contra.
    
   Nott, J.

This is a motion for a new trial, or in arrest of judgment on the following ground : Because there are two counts in the indictment, one of which is a bad one, on which the defendant could not be convicted; and the jury have found a general verdict. But a general verdict is good where there is one good count to which the evidence applies. The motion, therefore must be refused.

Justices Colcock, Smith, and Brevard concurred.
