Marshall v. Commonwealth
Marshall v. Commonwealth
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
No objections were made to any evidence that was offered or heard on the trial, and no exceptions were tahen to- the instructions given to the jury at the instance of appellee, although therefore there may have been errors in those instructions we must regard them: as waived. Burns v. Commonwealth, 3 Met. 13; Sec. 275, Crim. Code.
The evidence in our opinion preponderates very decidedly against the verdict, but this court can not reverse the judgment because the court below refused to grant a new trial on that ground. In cases of misdemeanors this court can only reverse a judgment of a lower court for errors of law appearing on1 the record to the prejudice of the appellant. Sec. 348, Crim. Code.
Wherefore the judgment must be affirmed.
