    Williams v. The State.
   Atkinson, J.

1. Every part of the charge of the court must be construed in the light of the whole; and consequently where the charge deals fully and correctly with the law of reasonable fears so that it must be understood by the jury to apply to every feature of the difficulty, it is not' erroneous, while charging upon the subject of manslaughter, to omit in that particular part of the charge all reference to the law of reasonable fears.
