1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
Mr. Chief Justice Gary.
The defendant was indicted for assault and battery with intent t'o kill, and was convicted of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.
The first question that will be considered is whether there was error, on the part of his Honor, the presiding Judge, in allowing the solicitor to cross-examine the defendant, over his objection, as to other quarrels, not connected in any way with the offense for which he was on trial, when he had not introduced testimony as to his‘reputation for peace and good order.
