Strickland v. The State.
Decided August 6, 1912.
Accusation of sale of liquor; from city court of Statesboro— Judge Strange. June 1, 1912.
J. F. Brannen, J. J. E. Anderson, for plaintiff in error.
Fred T. Lanier, solicitor, contra.

Opinion:
Hill, C. J.
1. In the absence of a timely written request, the failure to. instruct the jury on a theory of the defense, dependent alone on the statement of the accused to the jury, is not error. Jordan v. State, 9 Ga. App. 578 (71 S. E. 875).
2. The assignments. of error of law are without merit, and the evidence fully supports the verdict.
Judgment affirmed.
Russell, J., absent because of illness.
