Syllabus

<p>Robbery—Assault to Murder—Charge of the Court.—Indictment for the offense of robbery will not support a conviction for assault with intent to murder. The trial court, therefore, erred in charging the jury that if they did not believe that the accused was guilty of robbery, but • did believe from the evidence that he was guilty of an assault with intent to murder, they should find him guilty of the latter offense, and assess his punishment accordingly.</p>
