Citations

  • 51 Fla. 133

Syllabus

<p>1. In a prosecution for the unlawful sale of liquor testimony that it is usual for the owner of mills to keep whiskey for his own use and to give to employees under certain circumstances is immaterial and should be excluded.</p> <p>2. Assignments of error that are not argued in the appellate court will be considered as abandoned.</p> <p>3. Detached portions of a charge should be considered in connection with the charge as a whole, and with the evidence adduced at the trial; and when so considered, if they are . not subject to the criticism urged against them the assignments of error based thereon fail.</p> <p>4. Where the only objection urged to a charge given is that there was no evidence to authorize it, the assignment fails if there was in fact evidence to support the charge.</p> <p>5. Where the evidence fully supports the verdict it will not be disturbed.</p>

Judges: Cockrell, Hocker, Parkhill, Shackleford, Taylor, Whitfield
