The State presented evidence as to a difference in value in the following amounts: $29,500.00, and $31,625.00. The jury returned a verdict of $37,500.00 to which the trial judge addqd interest of $710.00 for a total verdict of $38,210.00. The charge of the trial court, when considered as a whole, correctly stated the law and presented the issues fairly to the jury. We find
