§ 1449. [246.] After hearing the appeal the court 1a., $246. must give judgment, without regard to the decision of Appellate questions which were in the discretion of the court below, or to technical errors, defects, or exceptions which do not affect the substantial rights of the parties.

Judgment on appeal. On hearing on appeal the supreme court will give judgment without regard to technical errors or defects, or to exceptions, which do not affect the substantial rights of the defendant: People v. Sprague, 53 Cal. 491; People v. Turley, 50 Id. 469; People v. Nelson, 56 Id. 77; People v. St. Clair, 56 Id. 406; S. C., 55 Id. 524; People v. Cronin, 34 Id. 191; People v. Dick, 32 Id. 213. Errors which do not prejudice will not warrant a reversal: People v. Rolfe, 61 Id. 540, 544; People v. Morine, 61 Id. 367, 373; People v. Smith, 59 Id. 601; People v. Williams, 59 Id. 674, 677, where the court went outside the evidence in charging the jury, but simply by way of illustration. A technical error is not sufficient of itself to reverse a judgment, but it must appear that by such error a substantial right of the defendant has been thereby affected, and the defendant must affirmatively prove that fact: People v. Brotherton, 47 Id. 404. The defendant cannot complain because an order denying his motion for a change of venue was entered in vacation instead of term time: People v. Congleton, 44 Id. 93. A judgment will not be reversed by the appellate court by reason of alleged error in a proceeding had in the course of the trial by express agreement of the defendant and

his counsel, unless bound to do so by some controlling rule of law: People v. Henderson, 28 Id. 466. So a party cannot complain of an instruction given at his own request: People v. Lopez, 59 Id. 362. The appellant must affirmatively show error; the appellate court will not presume it: People v. Ferris, 56 Id. 442; People v. Gilbert, 60 Id. 108, 112; but where error has been committed in a criminal trial, it will be presumed to have injured the defendant unless the contrary clearly appears: People v. Murphy, 47 Id. 103; People v. Furtado, 57 Id. 345, 347; but see People v. Gray, 61 Id. 182, and the cases there cited. If there is a substantial conflict in the evidence the verdict will not be disturbed on appeal on the ground that it was not justified by the evidence: People v. Montgomery, 53 Id. 576; People v. Smallman, 55 Id. 185. Although some of the instructions given may not state the law applicable to the case with precise accuracy, yet if taken as a whole they are substantially correct, and could not have misled the jury, the judgment will not be disturbed: People v. Cleveland, 49 Id. 577; People v. Clementshaw, 49 Id. 385; People v. Salorse, 62 Id. 139, 144; People v. Ye Park, 62 Id. 204; People v. Tamkin, 62 Id. 468; People v. Gray, 61 Id. 164, 182.
