Syllabus

<p>A charge which in substance assumes that he who received a blow for words spoken may not return the blow in self-defense is erroneous.</p> <p>The appellant, against whom a judgment had been rendered for assault and battery, appealed, and died pending the appeal. The whole proceeding abates. (Paschal’s Dig., Art. 18, Note 229; Gibbs v. Belcher, 30 Tex., 79.)</p>
