The evidence was in conflict, and was therefore a question for the determination of the jury. These charges were properly refused.
No exceptions were reserved to the oral charge of the court, nor were any of the rulings of the court upon the testimony excepted to.
Appellant's counsel insist in brief that, in the indictment upon which appellant was tried, in addition to the offense of an assault to ravish, there was also included the lower offense of an assault, and of assault and battery, and contends that the trial court committed reversible error in failing to charge the jury as to these lower offenses included in said indictment. The Attorney General on the other hand insists that defendant cannot complain of the fact that the court did not instruct the jury on assault and assault and battery, for the reason he was either guilty of the offense charged or he was not guilty of anything, and further contends that there was no evidence to justify a verdict of assault or assault and battery (citing White v. State.
The ruling of the court on motion for new trial is not presented for review. Crawley v. State,
No error is apparent on the record. It follows that the judgment of the lower court must be affirmed.
