Supreme Court of South Carolina · decided 1814-11-15

<p>A general verdict is good, where there is one good count in the indictment to which the evidence applies.</p>

Decided 1814-11-15

Nott, J.

¶1This is a motion for a new trial, or in arrest of judgment on the following ground : Because there are two counts in the indictment, one of which is a bad one, on which the defendant could not be convicted; and the jury have found a general verdict. But a general verdict is good, where there is one good count to which the evidence applies. The motion, therefore, must be refused.

Corcock, Smith, and Brevard, Js., concurred.
