Decided May 15, 1891.
Information for rape.
Conviction affirmed.
The facts necessary to a decision of the case are stated in the opinion.
Eggleston & McBride, for respondent.
A. A. Ellis, Attorney General, for the people.

Opinion:
Grant, J.
The respondent was. convicted of the crime of rape.
The sole allegation of error is that the court erred in permitting a witness to answer certain questions. When the testimony was offered the attorney for the respondent simply said, " Objected to," without giving any reason whatever for his objection, nor was the ground of his objection' reasonably apparent. The exception cannot therefore be considered. Ward v. Ward, 37 Mich. 254; Morrissey v. People, 11 Id. 327; Stevens v. Hope, 52 Id. 65; Gilbert v. Kennedy, 22 Id. 117; Comstock v. Smith, 26 Id. 306.
The conviction and sentence ar.e affirmed.
The other Justices concurred.
