1Opinion of the CourtMiller, J.

James S. Newton was convicted by a jury and fined one hundred dollars on the charge of operating an automobile on March 24, 1956 while under the influence of intoxicants in violation of § 80, ch. 40, Richmond City Code of 1937. From a judgment confirming the verdict, we granted accused an appeal.

In his assignments of error Newton challenges instruction No. 3 given at the instance of the city and complains of the court’s refusal to give instructions A and B tendered by him. Error is also assigned to the court’s refusal to strike certain evidence and direct the jury to disregard it.
