1Opinion of the CourtMayfield, J.
This action was brought by the appellant against the appellee for assault and battery. The complaint Avas in Code form. The defendant pleaded the general issue, and specially self-defense. The plaintiff demurred to the special pleas, and the demurrers AA'ere overruled.
*432The assignments of error, and the insistence in brief, as to rulings on demurrer, are not sufficient to justify a consideration by us on this appeal. A trial was had on these issues, and the court directed a verdict for the defendant; that is, it gave the affirmative charge, with appropriate hypothesis, for the defendant.
