Marston, J.

¶1This case comes here on error assigned on the record, no bill of exceptions having been settled. It isnrged here that the declaration would not sustain the judgment, as counts in assumpsit and counts in tort were joined in the same declaration and that such a joinder was fatal, and that upon this declaration a general verdict \was rendered.

¶2There was no such joinder; each and every count was in assumpsit, in some of which matters by way of aggravation were set forth. This does not change the form of the count from assumpsit to tort. The other objections we cannot consider on this record.

¶3The judgment must be affirmed with costs.

The other Justices concurred.
