Appeal from Circuit Court, Laurel County.

"Not to be officially reported."

Daniel Selby was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, and sentenced to penal servitude for a term of seven years, from which he appeals. Affirmed.

See 80 S.W. 221.

Sparks & Rawlings, for appellant.

O'REAR, J.

Appellant was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, and sentenced to penal servitude for the term of seven years.

The sole question presented on this appeal is whether an instruction covering involuntary manslaughter should have been given to the jury. On the former appeal of this case, when the facts were substantially the same as are shown in this record, it was expressly held that such instruction should not have been given (Selby v. Commonwealth, 80 S.W. 221, 25 Ky. Law Rep. 2209), which is the law of this case.

Wherefore the judgment is affirmed.
