Sosh v. Commonwealth

Opinion by

Judge Lewis:

The Gen. Statutes (1881), Ch. 29, Art. 17, § 1, applies only to the offense of shooting and wounding with a gun, or other instrument loaded with a ball or other hard substance, or of cutting, thrusting or stabbing with a knife, dirk, sword or other deadly *711weapon, and does not embrace the offense for which appellant was indicted, striking and wounding with a wooden club. The court below therefore did not err in refusing to instruct the jury on that section of the statute.

Baker Boyd, for appellant. P. W. Hardin, for appellee. [Cited, Erwin v. Commonwealth, 96 Ky. 422, 16…
