   Beck, J.

1. Where, upon the trial of one charged with murder, the court instructs the jury, “To deliberately kill in revenge of a past injury, however heinous, after reason has had time to resume its sway, can not be justifiable,” and the jury returns a verdict finding the defendant guilty of voluntai'y manslaughter, such charge of the court is not error requiring the grant of a new trial, although the only evidence tending to show a past injury was that the deceased and accused had quarrelled about a woman a few minutes before the rencounter.
