Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Fhankum, Judge.

“Error, to be reversible, must be harmful, and where a charge, although error, is favorable to the defendant, it is not such as to bring about a reversal of the case.” McCall v. State, 87 Ga. App. 185 (4), supra. The error in the charge complained of was favorable to the defendant for it required the testimony of the defendant’s admitted associate to be corroborated when no such corroboration is necessary in *365a misdemeanor case. See Code § 38-121. Accordingly, no harmful error is shown by the one special ground of the defendant’s amended motion for new trial.
