Two errors are enumerated: 1) “the trial court erred in refusing to allow the counsel for Appellants to examine the document used by the police officer to refresh his memory”; 2) “the trial court erred in the Poll of the jury, and refused to ask if the verdict was still the verdict of the jury. ” Held:
