Stephens, J.

¶1I concur in all except the ruling contained in paragraph 3. I am of the opinion that the request to charge referred to therein was substantially a correct statement of the law, but concur in- the conclusion that it was properly refused by the trial judge. I do so, however, on the ground that it was covered in the general charge. ~
