TROUP v. THE STATE.
1. An exception to tlie charge of the court, on the ground that the presiding judge “ should have charged the jury the full law in reference to the different grades of manslaughter” (the defendant contending that the law of manslaughter was involved), is not a sufficient assignment of error, because of the failure to indicate whether it is contended that the charge should have been upon the. subject of voluntary manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter; and if the latter, what branch of involuntary manslaughter. Knight v. State, 148 Ga. 41 (95 S. E. 679).
2. There was sufficient evidence to authorize the verdict.
