Opinion:
Per Curiam,
The only assignments of error which are in compliance with our rules relate to the charge of the court, and the only complaint of counsel for appellant in their brief argument is of it, but, as no special or general exception was taken to it, the assignments cannot be considered: Foley v. Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co., 240 Pa. 169.
Judgment affirmed.
