An accusation charging the defendant with the offense of “stabbing another,” in violation of section 112 of the Penal Code, alleged that the instrument used in perpetrating the offense was a pair of. scissors. Held, that it was within the intellectual capacity of the jury, aided by their common knowledge and experience, to determine whether a pair of “scissors” was an “instrument of the like kind” with “a sword, dirk, or knife.” The jury would know, without extraneous evidence, that scissors were “a cutting implement, consisting of a pair of blades with handles.”

•3. The “act of stabbing another, except in his own defense or other circumstances of justification, with a sword, dirk, or knife, or other instrument of the like kind, shall be punished as for a misdemeanor.” The city court of Griffin has jurisdiction of such an offense, in the absence of additional allegations or proof showing the act of stabbing to be a felony. No error of law was committed, and the evidence fully warranted the verdict. Judgment affirmed.
