CONSTITUTIONAL COURT, COLUMBIA,
NOV., 1814.
Isaac Poole ads. The State.
A general verdict is good, where there is one good count in the indictment to which the evidence applies.
Egan, for the motion. Starke, 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.
Corcock, Smith, and Brevard, Js., concurred.
