¶1— The defendant was tried on an indictment charging murder in the first degree, and was convicted of manslaughter in the first degree, and appeals.
¶2The record shows that the court made the proper order directing the sheriff to serve the defendant with a copy of the indictment and venire, and the defendant’s motion to quash the venire based on this ground was properly overruled.
¶3The court was not in error in overruling the defendant’s motion to quash the venire because it appeared that Marion S. New had been served and was in attendance as a regular juror to serve under the name of Marion S. Nero, whose name appeared on the venire, for it is affirmatively shown that the defendant received the full benefit of the venire to which he was entitled under the law, from which to strike in selecting the jurors to try his case, as the court required the state to use one of its strikes in eliminating the name of Marion S. Nero from the venire, and under the ruling in Costello’s Case, 176 Ala. 1, 58 South. 202, no injury resulted to the defendant, for he still received all of the benefits to which he was entitled under the statute.
¶4Nor would it be a ground to quash the venire because of a mistake in the name of any juror drawn or summoned. — Acts 1909, § 32, p. 320.
¶5The judgment entries show a proper order setting the case for trial and orders of continuance from time to time until the day of the trial without break or intermission, and there is no merit in defendant’s objection *45to being put on trial because of a failure of tbe court to make tbe proper order setting tbe case for trial, or make proper orders of continuance. We are not furnished with argument or brief pointing out tbe reliance of defendant upon any error or errors committed on the trial, and a careful examination of tbe record shows that tbe court ruled correctly in regard to tbe admission and rejection of evidence, and. as they are clearly not erroneous in any particular we do not deem that a discussion of these rulings would result in any proper or beneficial purpose.
¶6Tbe oral charge of tbe court construed as a whole, as it should be (Grisham v. State, 147 Ala. 1, 41 South. 997; McMurphy v. State, 4 Ala. App. 20, 58 South. 748), is a fair and correct statement of the law applicable to the facts, and we find the portions to which exceptions were reserved free from reversible error when considered in connection with the entire charge.
¶7The refused charges w'hich are not fully covered by the numerous given charges seem principally to be asked on the theory that the burden of proof is on the state to prove that the defendant could have retreated without increasing his peril. This is not the law.— Holmes v. State, 100 Ala. 80, 14 South. 864; Linehan v. State, 113 Ala. 70, 21 South. 497; Compton v. State, 110 Ala. 24, 20 South. 119. The correct propositions of law that are contained in charges refused to the defendant are all more than covered in the charges given at his request. — Cook v. State, 5 Ala. App. 11, 59 South. 519.
¶8A thorough examination of the record shows no reversible error, and convinces us that the defendant was accorded a fair trial and had the advantage of everything to which he was entitled. The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.
¶9Affirmed.
