JOHNSON v. THE STATE.
Decided September 23, 1976
Rehearing denied November 5, 1976.
Guy B. Scott, Jr., for appellant.
Harry N. Gordon, District Attorney, Frederick B. Tyler, Jr., Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.

Opinion:
Clark, Judge.
Our previous opinion of reversal is reported in 137 Ga. App. 740 (224 SE2d 859). Upon certiorari (State v. Johnson, 237 Ga. 276) our Supreme Court directed that our judgment be vacated and the case remanded to us for consideration in accordance with the opinion in State v. Moore, 237 Ga. 269 (227 SE2d 241).
The holding in State v. Moore is to the effect that the jury instruction which we ruled erroneous will not be henceforth approved but the application thereof is to be prospective only. In conformance with the Supreme Court's direction we hold that the charge given in this case was not error at the time of the trial in this case. See Davis v. State, 237 Ga. 279 (227 SE2d 249) and Cowart v. State, 237 Ga. 282 (227 SE2d 248).
Judgment affirmed.
Bell, C. J., and Quillian, J., concur.
