<p>1. Criminal Law — Service oe Jury List-Continuance — New Trial.</p> <p>The fact that on the list of jurors served upon the defendant the Christian names of two of the jurors, instead of being given in full, are given by initials only, and the further fact that one of the names on the same list is that of a man who does not exist, do not constitute irregularities sufficiently serious to justify the postponement of the trial, and still less to set aside the verdict.</p> <p>2. Same — Instructions—Revision.</p> <p>Where a requested special charge is so imperfectly worded that it would be unintelligible to the jury, the judge may refuse to give it on that ground, and is not bound to revise it so as to make it intelligible.</p> <p>3. Same — Trial—Minutes oe Clerk.</p> <p>It is not customary for the clerk to note in his minutes such parts of the trial as the request for a special charge.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
