Opinion:
KEY, C. J.
This is a personal injury suit, in which the plaintiffs sought to recover damages for the alleged wrongful killing of Henry H. 'Schrader. When the plaintiffs closed their testimony, the trial court instructed a verdict for defendant, which was returned and judgment rendered thereon, and the plaintiffs have appealed, and assign as error the actior of the trial court in so charging the jury.
The record does not show that the plaintiffs filed any objection in the court below to the charge given by the court, and for that reason we are not called upon to determine whether or not error was committed in the matter complained of. In 1913 the Legislature amended our procedure statute so as to require a complaining litigant to except to tlie action of tlie trial court in giving and refusing instructions, and declaring that a failure to do so should be held to constitute a waiver of objections and an aproval of the action of the trial court. Floegge v. Meyer et al., 172 S. W. 194, recently decided by this court, and cases there cited.
Judgment affirmed.
