¶1The defendant relies upon only one alleged error in this record — that of the refusal of the court to give charge 1 requested by defendant.
¶2The state had introduced three witnesses whose testimony tended to establish the guilt of the accused.
¶3The defendant introduced several witnesses, who testified that they knew the general character of the state’s witnesses; that the same was bad, and they would not believe them on oath.
¶4The charge requested was, “that each of the state’s witnesses (naming them) has been impeached, and you may look to this fact, in connection with ali the other evidence, in determining what credence you will give the testimony of such impeached witnesses.”
¶5The charge assumed, that the state’s witnesses had been impeached, whereas, whether they had been or not, was a question for the determination of the jury. If *51the charge had hypothesized, that the evidence for the defendant tended to impeach the witnesses, or if the jury believed from this evidence that said witnesses were impeached and unworthy of credit, a different proposition would have been presented. But the charge, as requested, withdrew from the jury the consideration and determination of the question of the impeachment of the witnesses and asserted it as a fact by the court. There was no error in refusing the charge.
¶6Affirmed.
