Syllabus

<p>1. The provision of Chapter 5902, Acts 1909, that, “it shall be ground of challenge for cause if any person called as a juror has served as a juror at any other term within one year,” has reference to the time of service and not to terms of the Court.</p> <p>2. Alleged errors in giving or refusing charges or instructions, and in the admission or rejection of testimony which do not weaken the effect of the admitted testimony, and which do not reach the legality of the trial itself will not be considered grounds for reversal where the evidence leaves no room for reasonable doubt of the defendant’s guilt.</p> <p>3, A judgment of conviction will not be reversed on writ of error even if technical errors were committed in rulings on the admissibility of evidence or ■ in charges given or refused or in other matters of procedure, where the evidence of guilt is clear and ample and no fundamental rights of the defendants were violated, and it' appears from the whole record that such technical errors, if any, were not prejudicial to the defendants.</p>
