This averment was held not to be essential in State v. Slagle, 88 N. C., 630.\nThe defendant also asked his Honor to instruct the jury .to render a verdict of not guilty on the ground that there was not sufficient evidence to submit to the jury, which prayer was overruled. We have carefully read the evidence, and think that there was evidence to go to the jury. The weight of the evidence and the credibility of the witnesses were for the jury to consider, and not the Court.\nAffirmed.",
