Syllabus

<p>1. In an action of trespass vi et armis for an assault and battery causing injury to the plaintiff, expenses incurred for medical aid, nursing, loss of earnings, etc., which were the natural results of the injury, may be recovered as damages.</p> <p>2. While in such action it may be more regular to set out such elements of damage in the narr, yet where the cause has been tried properly on its merits, a reversal will not be ordered because of the absence of such averments.</p> <p>3. “The first and second assignments are not in accordance with the rules. The third is assigned in such manner as to be insensible, unless we treat it as .part of the first and second assignments, which probably was the intention. If we consolidate the three assignments, we learn that some one was asked the question, ‘ What was his bill ? ’ Whose bill is not stated.”</p>
