The opinion
O’QUINN, J.
I dissent from the reversal of this case. I think the judgment should be affirmed. The error upon which the reversal is based (the use of the word “casual” in the court’s charge) was harmless, and, in my opinion, was not calculated to, nor did it, in any manner influence tíie finding of the verdict by the jury.
