¶1Opinion oe the Court by
¶2The record shows no exception to the giving or refusing of instructions by the court; and therefore, even if there had been any error in that respect, thi§ court could not revise it. The affidavit of the appellant did not entitle him to a new trial. The testimony of his absent witnesses could have had but little, if any, effect on the amount of damages, and the appellant ought to have known that the witness was absent, and have moved for a continuance; his alleged drunkenness is no legal excuse for his own • absence and culpable neglect of his case.
¶3Nor does the amount of the assessed damages entitle the appellant to a new trial.
¶4This court cannot say that for such a battery resulting in such a disability, $500 should be deemed so exorbitant as to indicate passion or prejudice.
¶5Wherefore, the judgment is, affirmed with damages.
