Opinion

Stacy, J.

The record discloses a serious and aggravated breach of the criminal law. The prosecuting witness was called from his home in the night-time, assaulted, robbed, and shot.' There was ample evidence, offered by the State tending to show that the defendants were the guilty parties. On the other hand, there was much evidence offered by the defendants, in support of their defense, which'tended to establish their innocence. But upon the controverted questions of fact, and the ultimate issue of guilt, the verdict of the jury was adverse to the appellants.

There are a number of exceptions appearing on the record, relating to the admission and exclusion of evidence and to his Honor’s charge, but we have failed to discover any prejudicial or reversible error. The case apparently has been tried in substantial conformity to our decisions on the subject; and, after a careful consideration of all the material questions presented, we find no error, and this will be certified to the Superior Court.

No error.
