Broyles, C. J.

1. The court did not err in instructing the jury that ‍‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‍it was unlawful “to drive an automobile on a public highway at night with but one headlight burning.” See Ga. L. 1927, p. 226, sec. 9.

2. ‍‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‍Special ground 4 of the motion for a new trial excepts to a mere fragment of the charge, an uncompleted sentence. The ground, therefore, under repeated ‍‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‍rulings of the Supreme Court and of this court, is too incomplete to raise any question for consideration.

3. In the light of the entire charge and ‍‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‍the facts of the case, no one of the excerpts from the charge, as set forth in the motion for a new trial, is erroneous for ‍‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‍any reason assigned.

4. The verdict was authorized by the evidence.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ‘., concur.
