   BROOKS, Judge.

Appellant was convicted of aggravated assault, and his punishment assessed at a fine of $25.

Appellant attempted to defend against the prosecution on the ground that he had been prosecuted for simple assault in the mayor’s court. This would not be a defense, and the court did not err in finding appellant guilty under the evidence in this case of aggravated assault.

The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
