Syllabus

<p>1. A general exception to the whole of a judge’s charge to the jury is not a compliance with the law; the points of law wherein error is charged should be separately and distinctly stated.</p> <p>2. Where the question is, whether personal property levied upon belonged to the husband or the wife, it is not error to leave to the jury the weight to be attached to the marks upon the goods when received by railroad as evidence of ownership.</p> <p>3. If the judge submits to the jury a question which he should himself decide, his attention should be directed at the time to his error.</p>
