    Gates v. Meredith.
    APPEAL from the Decatur Circuit Court.
    
      A. G. Deavitt for the appelant.
    
      J. S. Scobey and W. Cumback, for the appellee.
    Saturday May 29
   Per Curiam.

Suit by Meredith against Oates for slander. Proper issues being made, the case was submitted to a jury, who found for the plaintiff; and the Court rendered a judgment on the verdict.

The record contains no bill of exceptions, nor does it appear that any exception, in any form, was taken to the rulings of the Circuit Court. There was no motion for a new trial, or in arrest. The judgment must, therefore, be affirmed.

The judgment is affirmed, with 5 per cent, damages and costs.
