Opinion of the Court
Clark, J.:
The evidence that the shooting had occurred about the time the defendant’s distillery had been cut up was admitted by the court, as it stated, simply to fix the date of the assault. Thus restricted, certainly it was unobjectionable. The evidence of Robert Boyd was very indefinite. Though the defendant as-lced that it be excluded, there was no exception for failure to. do so.
Code, Sec. 412 (2).
Taylor v. Plummer, 105 N. C., 56 . The exception to the charge is not to any specific-instruction, but is a “broadside exception” to the entire charge, and therefore cannot be considered for the reasons given in McKinnon v. Morrison, 104 N. C., 354 , and the numerous cases affirming it, Clark’s Code, (2nd Ed.,) pp. 382, 383, and in supplement to same, p. 64. Besides, the charge presented no grounds for exception by this defendant.
