WALKER, P. J.

Of several rulings which the record presents for review, it is ‍‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‍not deemed necessary to say more than that obviously in none of them was there any error.

Written charge 5 requested by the defendant was ‍‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‍properly refused, as, for the state to sustain the charge made by the indictment, it was not required to prove that the defendant in the ‍‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‍manner’ alleged obtained the exact amount of money mentioned in the indictment; the averment of amount not being of an essential ingredient of the ‍‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‍offense charged. — Hope v. State, 5 Ala. App. 123, 59 South. 326; Davis v. State, 3 Ala. App. 71, 57 South. 493.

As there was evidence tending to prove the charge made ‍‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‍in the indictment, written charge 1 requested by the defendant was properly refused.

Affirmed.
