Opinion of the Court

Hill, C. J.

1. The court should instruct the jury as to all the methods by which a witness may be impeached, so far as such instructions are authorized by the evidence; but failure to do so will not require the granting of a new trial, where no written request was made to charge the jury as to the mode of impeachment omitted from the instructions *834on that subject. Millen & Southwestern R. Co. v. Allen, 130 Ga. 656 (5), (61 S. E. 541).
