Syllabus

<p>1.

Charge op court — Practice.— Though a charge of the court may be in some respects incorrect, or present some issues not raised by the pleadings, yet if it appear affirmatively from the record that the finding of the jury was not influenced by such erroneous charge, the case will not ordinarily be reversed because of such immaterial error of the court.</p>
