Head Matter:
Heath vs. The State of Georgia.
1. The evidence upholds the verdict.
2. A refusal to grant a continuance to obtain evidence which, when obtained, would be immaterial, is no ground for a new trial.
3. Though a word in the charge, when taken alone, may be objectionable, yet if when taken with its context it is clear and substantially correct, its use will not necessitate a new trial.

Opinion:
Crawford, Justice.
(The judge charged that in misdemeanors there are no accessories before the fact as in felonies, but all are equally guilty ; and that every person "concerned" in this transaction is equally guilty. Exception was taken to the use of the word "concerned.")
