47 So. 500
Miss.
1908
Whitfield, C. J.,

delivered the opinion of the court.

The instruction given for the state, informing the jury that on the facts in the case defendant was estopped to plead self-defense, was manifestly erroneous. Herring v. State, 87 Miss. 628, 40 South. 230; Lofton v. State, 79 Miss. 723; 31 South. 420; Cooper v. State, 80 Miss. 175, 31 South. 579; Pulpus v. State, 82 Miss. 548, 34 South. 2; Jones v. State, 84 Miss. 194, 36 South. 243.

The modification of the fourth instruction was for the same reason erroneous.

Reversed and remanded.
