Isaac Poole ads. The State.
Egan, for the Motion,
Stark, Contra.

Opinion:
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.
