Syllabus

<p>1. Instructions —need not be repeated. When the law applicable to a case is given in clear and intelligible language, the sole function of instructions is performed, and there is no necessity for repeating the same idea in different instructions, varying only in form.</p> <p>2. Same—should not argue the case. The court is not only under no obligation to permit a case to be argued through instructions, but is bound to prohibit it.</p>
