Syllabus

<p>On the trial of felonies, it is the duty of the court to instruct the jury as to the law applicable to the facts of the case, but the law has, as a general thing: left it to the sound discretion of the court to determine the character, and particularly the extent of the charge to be given ; and the mere omission by the court to give instructions on any particular point is not error. The party must ask the particular instructions, and then, if refused, he can assign the refusal as error.</p>
