BRICKEN, J.

¶1 The defendant was indicted, tried, and convicted of the offense of assault with intent to murder, and was sentenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of eight years. The record in this case contains no bill of exceptions. No *88 question was raised relative to the sufficiency ’of the indictment, and no exception was reserved to any portion of the oral charge of the court. The only refused charge was the general affirmative charge in favor of the defendant, and this charge cannot be reviewed in the absence of a bill of exceptions. Cobb v. State, 115 Ala. 18, 22 South. 506; Frazier v. State, 71 South. 981. 1
