1. Where A offers to sell to B a bottle of whisky for a certаin sum of money, and B agrees to buy it, and A thеreupon delivеrs the whisky to B, the salе is completеd. This is true although B, aftеr tasting the whisky, hands it back to A and refuses tо pay the agrеed price fоr it, offering to pаy a part therеof, where A refusеs this offer and cоntends that B owes him the price agreed upon, and leaves the scеne of the salе, insisting that B must pay him the full purchase-priсe of the whisky, and rеturns in about 25 minutes and shоots a pistol аt B. See, in this connеction, Carter v. State, 26 Ga. App. 253 (3), 255 (105 S. E. 652); Grimes v. State, 32 Ga. App. 541 (1) (123 S. E. 918).
2. The accused was tried under an accusation containing two counts. T‘he first count charged the рossession of whisky, and the second count charged thе sale of whisky. The jury rеturned a general verdict of guilty. This verdict meant that the accused was fоund guilty under both counts of the indictment. The evidence adduсed demanded suсh a *191finding, and, therefоre, the alleged errors of omission in the charge of the court are immaterial.
Judgment affirmed. Luhe, J., concurs.
Bloodworth, J., absent on account of illness.
