*358Appellant was indicted for the crime of forgery. He moved to quash the indictment, and his motion was overruled. Upon a plea of not guilty he was put upon trial before a jury. At the close of the evidence for the State, the trial court reconsidered its ruling on appellant’s motion to quash the indictment and sustained it, and discharged the jury. Thereafter an affidavit charging the same offense was filed by the prosecuting attorney, and upon it appellant was tried and convicted. From this conviction he appeals, and by proper assignments of error presents numerous questions. The first question, which is presented in several ways, arises out of the contention that appellant was put in jeopardy by being put upon trial upon the indictment, and could not, without violating his constitutional rights, be again tried for the same offense. The decision of this question must be against appellant. That appellant was not conducted into jeopardy by the partial trial on the indictment, if that indictment was not sufficient to sustain a conviction, is too obvious and well settled to need citation of authority or precedent to support the proposition. But it is now claimed by counsel for appellant that the former indictment was a good and sufficient charge of the offense, and that, therefore, jeopardy attached. We are not required to determine whether the indictment was good *359or bad, for conceding it to have been good, appellant, having induced the action of the trial court in holding it bad, by his motion to quash it, which the court sustained, thereby waived any right to claim that he had been put in jeopardy under it. The inununity from a second jeopardy is a constitutional right which a defendant may waive. Appellant invoked, by his motion to quash, the action of the trial court to lift him out of the peril he was then in, and he cannot now take advantage of that action, if erroneous, to relieve himself from the second jeopardy, for he waived his right. Joy v. State (1860), 14 Ind. 139, 148; Hensley v. State (1886), 107 Ind. 587, 8 N. E. 692; Miller v. State (1904), 33 Ind. App. 509, 71 N. E. 248; Ex parte Winston (1875), 52 Ala. 419; Brown v. State (1900), 109 Ga. 570, 34 S. E. 1031; Commonwealth v. Gould (1858), 78 Mass. 171; State v. Priebnow (1884), 16 Neb. 131, 19 N. W. 628; Von Rueden v. State (1897), 96 Wis. 671, 71 N. W. 1048; State v. Hart (1885), 33 Kan. 218, 6 Pac. 288; Jones v. Commonwealth (1906), 124 Ky. 26, 97 S. W. 1118; People v. Meakim (1891), 61 Hun 327, 15 N. Y. Supp. 917; Stone v. State (1909), 160 Ala. 94, 49 South, 823, 135 Am. St. 69 and note; 1 Bishop, New Crim. Law §1027, clause 4.
3. Nor can the fact that appellant, upon the court reconsidering its ruling and sustaining the motion to quash, objected to the discharge of the jury short of an acquittal, put him in a better position to claim former jeopardy. Ex parte Winston, supra; Commonwealth v. Gould, supra; Jones v. Commonwealth, supra. The indictment being quashed, there was nothing to go forward upon—no charge for the jury to try.
4. It is next contended that the court erred in overruling appellant’s motion to quash the affidavit on which he was convicted. For the reason given in Scott v. State (1911), 176 Ind. 382, 96 N. E. 125, this question is not presented. Neither the record nor appellant’s *360brief shows a motion to qnash, stating any grounds therefor. Moreover, the objection to the affidavit which is now made to this court is not valid under the holding in Agar v. State (1911), 176 Ind. 234, 94 N. E. 820.
5. Among the causes for a new trial, the overruling of which is assigned as error, were two based on the action of the trial court in sustaining objections of the State to two questions put to a medical witness called for the defense. These questions called for expert testimony relating to the effect of the excessive drinking of intoxicating liquor on the human mind as affecting the question of motive or intent. We need not determine whether the court was right or wrong in this action, for not only this witness, but two others, after the ruling complained of, were permitted to give testimony fully covering the matter involved in the questions, and appellant was not harmed by the ruling.
The court did not commit error in admitting in evidence, over appellant’s objection, the check alleged to have been forged by appellant, for it was identical with that set out in the affidavit.
6. Complaint is made of several instructions given by the court, and also of the court’s refusal to give a number tendered by appellant. An examination of the instructions under which the verdict of the jury was returned, shows that the jury was very fully and fairly instructed. Instruction four, given by the court, by request from the State, involves the question of reasonable doubt. It did not state the law incorrectly, and anything it lacked in a comprehensive definition of reasonable doubt was fully and favorably stated in instruction thirteen, given at appellant’s request.
*3617. 8. *360Instruction five, given at the request of the State, is criticised in two particulars. It stated the essential elements of the offense of forgery as applied to the charge against appellant, and told the jury that if it found the facts established beyond a reasonable doubt, it should convict. The first ob*361jection to the instruction is that the words “from the evidence” are omitted from'the instruction, and it is contended that by this omission the jury was not required to base its finding of the facts upon the evidence. Instructions are to be considered as a whole, and the particular omission complained of in this instruction could not have led the jury to believe that it might, in making its verdict, depart from the evidence before it, for in several other instructions given by the court it was told that a reasonable doubt might arise from the evidence or the lack oí evidence, and that it could not convict appellant unless constrained to do so by the evidence convincing it of his guilt beyond all reasonable doubt. It is also made an objection to this instruction, that it invades the province of the jury to determine the law and facts in criminal eases. But it has been decided that where the court in an instruction sets out all the essential elements of the crime charged, and then states that if the facts constituting such elements have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt the jury should find the defendant guilty, it is not an invasion of the province of the jury, where, as was done here, the jury was also instructed that it was the judge of the law as well as the facts. Hutchins v. State (1898), 151 Ind. 667, 52 N. E. 403; McCaughey v. State (1901), 156 Ind. 41, 59 N. E. 169; Reynolds v. State (1897), 147 Ind. 3, 46 N. E. 31.
9. Neither instruction six nor seven, given at the request of the State, stated the law erroneously. If it be conceded, as contended by counsel for appellant, that the jury should have been told that the mental condition of appellant brought on, as claimed, by long continued drinking of intoxicating liquor might be considered on the question of intent, the failure to incorporate that direction in these instructions was not error, nor did it harm appellant, for in other instructions the court fully instructed the jury favorably to him on this question.
*36210. It is contended that the court erred in refusing to give to the jury each of seven certain instructions tendered by appellant. Five of these were, in effect, but repetition of other instructions given by the court, which were favorable to appellant, some of them given at appellant’s instance, and it was not error to refuse them. The other two obviously did not state the law correctly as applied to the charge in the affidavit.
A careful examination of the evidence leads to the conclusion that appellant’s contention, that it does not sustain his conviction, is not so well supported as to compel a reversal for lack of evidence.
11. In four differently worded assignments of error it is averred that the court erred in rendering judgment, over the objection of appellant, imposing a fine in excess of the amount fixed by the verdict of the jury, and imprisonment for a greater maximum number of years than the statute providing a penalty for forgery permits. The transcript of the record, as originally filed in this court, showed no such judgment, but, on the contrary, one entirely in harmony with the verdict and in conformity to the statute; and this judgment is not called in question, except as it was affected by the alleged errors in the trial preceding it, which have been considered. But in a petition for a writ of certiorari in appellant’s behalf, it is charged that judgment was first rendered by the court, as claimed by appellant, and this fact, it may be added, is confirmed by a special bill of exceptions found in the record. The return of the clerk to a writ of certiorari, however, shows that the error in the judgment was discovered and corrected before the order-book entry thereof was signed by the judge, and in the absence of anything appearing in the record to the contrary we must presume that the judgment was amended and corrected by the court within the term when it might lawfully be made.
*363Finding no error .in the record, the judgment is affirmed.
Myers, J., did not participate in the decision of this cause.
