When there is but one exception to the refusal to give several charges, the court need examine no further after seeing that one was properly refused.</p> <p>3. It is proper to refuse to charge as follows: Before the jury can convict of assault with intent to commit murder they, must be satisfied from the evidence before them that at the time the shooting took place the defendant had formed á premeditated design to effect the death of A.</p> <p>4. The evidence being sufficient to have supported a verdict of murder in the second degree at least, had the assaulted person died, a verdict of assault with intent to murder will not be disturbed.</p>
