   SAYRE, J.

Those assignments of error most seriously insisted up on by petitioner-involve an inquiry as to what evidence was before the trial court and its effect. This court has frequently held that it would not make such inquiry on a petition to review the Court of Appeals. Postal Tel. & Cable Co. v. Minderhout, 195 Ala. 420, 71 South. 91.

This court is of opinion that there was" no reversible error in the other rulings presented- for review. Our judgment is that the trial court properly admitted the testimony of the witness Milliner as .to the physical effect upon himself of the assault committed upon him by defendant at the time of, and in the prosecution of, the robbery charged in the indictment.

Application for certiorari denied.

ANDERSON,. O. J., and GARDNER and MIDLER, JJ., concur.
