Syllabus

<p>Trial — Charge of court — Review.</p> <p>A'trial judge cannot be convicted of inadequacy or partiality in his charge, when he gives a general review of the evidence on the one side and the other which fairly and adequately presents the respective contentions of the parties, with enough reference to the items of evidence to assist the jury in recalling it as a substantial whole, and to appreciate its bearing. Slight inaccuracies in the recital of testimony are no grounds for reversal, especially where the judge’s attention is not called to them at the time they were made, or at the conclusion of the charge.</p> <p>Appeals — Quashing appeal — One appeal from several cases.</p> <p>Where three separate and distinct cases are tried in the common pleas at ' one time and before the same jury, but with no consolidation of the action, the records in the three cases cannot be brought up for review by a single appeal and writ. . If this is attempted the appeal will be quashed.</p>
