Appeal from circuit court, Buchanan county; SILAS WOODSON, Judge.
Defendant was tried upon an indictment containing three counts, — the first two for assault with intent to kill, and the third for an assault with a knife, and a felonious maiming, wounding, etc., of the injured party. Defendant was convicted under the third count, and, after the usual motions, appealed. The instructions referred to in the opinion as offered by defendant and refused by the court are the following, viz.: "(6) If the jury believe from the evidence that the witness Wright caught hold of and pushed the defendant, or that he struck the defendant one or more blows with his fist, and that the defendant had reasonable cause to apprehend a design on the part of said Wright to do him some great bodily harm or great personal injury, then about to be accomplished, and the defendant struck and cut said Wright to avoid and prevent such injury, then the defendant was justified, and the jury should find the defendant not guilty."
