Waters v. State

Opinion of the Court

Simmons, C. J.

The charge being that the accused pursued on the Lord’s day the work of his ordinary calling, the same not being a work of necessity or charity, and the evidence demanding a verdict of guilty, there was no error in denying a new trial, even if a portion of the instructions to the jury were erroneous.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring.
