McCLELLAN, j.
The plaintiff (appellee) sued the defendant (appellant) for damages for an assault and battery committed by the latter upon the former. The appellant interposed a plea of recoupment, a cross-action, claiming damages consequent upon an assault and battery committed on the defendant by the plaintiff on the same occasion. The plaintiff was seriously wounded by pistol shots at the hands of the defendant; and the defendant was cut and bruised about the head by blows inflicted by plaintiff’s use of a paper weight. The jury gave plaintiff the verdict in the sum of $8,000.
