Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- On an indictment for
malicious wounding, an accused may be convicted of either malicious
wounding, unlawful wounding, or simple assault and battery, and the jury
are so charged by the clerk under the authority of the court. The
pleadings are made up before this charge is given, and if the charge is
not correct, objection to it should then be made.
- The ends of justice
cannot be defeated by a failure of an accused to take timely advantage of
an omission in the indictment which was, under the circumstances, purely
technical, and could have been corrected at the bar upon a mere suggestion.
