Syllabus

<p>1. In a prosecution for obtaining goods under false pretenses written instruments not relevant to the issue being tried are properly excluded on objection when offered in evidence.</p> <p>2. Where a charge is that the defendant with intent to defraud ■ did wilfully and falsely represent that he was the owner of a chattel exchanged for another chattel, it is not error to exclude evidence and to refuse a charge as to the defendant’s right to sell the chattel that was .in fact the property of another.</p> <p>3. It is not error to refuse a charge that is covered by a charge given.</p> <p>4. Where the evidence is ample to sustain a verdict that is not manifestly against the weight and probation force of the testimony and no prejudicial errors of law or procedure appear, the judgment will be affirmed.</p>
