Syllabus

<p>Assault and battery — Civil suit for damages.</p> <p>In an action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by reason of an alleged assault committed by the defendant upon the plaintiff, the plaintiff cannot complain of the admission of evidence to the effect that the plaintiff was a drinking woman prior to the time of the assault, if it appears that the trial judge at the request of plaintiff’s counsel instructed the jury to disregard such evidence, and that the other evidence in the case was sufficient to justify a verdict against the plaintiff without reference to the objectionable testimony.</p>
