Syllabus

<p>1. In a prosecution for withholding means of support from a wife and child testimony that the defendant’s partner refused to let the wife have anything from their store is not hearsay and is relevant to the issue being tried.</p> <p>2. The merits of a suit for alimony are not material in a criminal prosecution for withholding the means of support from a wife and child.</p> <p>3. Objections to specific testimony and exceptions to rulings thereon should be duly presented in the bill of exceptions if a review of the rulings is desired.</p> <p>4. Where no fundamental rights have been violated, and the evidence of guilt is amply sufficient, technical errors in rulings on the admission of testimony or in giving or refusing charges will not cause a reversal.</p>
