Syllabus

<p>1. Charges—Evidence—Statement of facts—Rulings of the lower court in giving or refusing charges, or in admitting evidence, will not be revised without a statement of facts. The exception to this rule, so far as charges are concerned, is that they will be reviewed only when, taken in connection.with the pleadings and verdict, they are so glaringly erroneous as to leave no doubt that the finding of the jury must have been controlled by the improper instruction of the court. (McGaughy v. Bendy, 27 Tex., 535.)</p> <p>2. Erroneous charge—Verdict—An erroneous charge to the jury will not constitute a reversible error, if, under the facts before the jury, they could have found no other verdict than that rendered. See opinion.</p>
