YOUNG, Justice.

This action was brought by appellee, plaintiff below, for personal injuries arising from an alleged battery committed jointly by appellants Thaxton and Breaux. The battery allegedly took the form of an illegal abortion performed by force and against her will. In response to special issues, the jury found that plaintiff had suffered damages in amount of $7,500, proximately caused by an operation performed by Dr. Thaxton, aided by Breaux; and following the Court’s overruling of amended motion for new trial, defendant Thaxton has appealed.
