¶1Mr. James J. Laughlin, of Washington, D. C., for plaintiff in error.

¶2Mr. Vernon E. West, Principal Asst. Corp. Counsel, of Washington, D. C., with whom Messrs. Richmond B. Keech, Corp. Counsel, and Chester H. Gray, Asst. Corp. Counsel, both of Washington, D. C., were on the brief, for defendants in error.

¶3Before GRONER, Chief Justice, and MILLER and EDGERTON, Associate Justices.

¶4PER CURIAM.

¶5On this appeal, appellant objects to the trial court’s charge to the jury, but the so-called bill of exceptions does not indicate that he did so at the trial. The objection comes too late. Martin v. Washington Times Co., 67 App.D.C. 11, 89 F.2d 230. It is a salutary rule that errors which the trial court is given no opportunity to correct will not, in general, be considered on appeal.

¶6Affirmed.
