Submitted March 12,
Decided April 20, 1908.

Opinion:
Hill, C. J.
In a suit to recover damages resulting from an assault and battery, the extent of the injury, and the existence and character of mitigating circumstances, are to be determined exclusively by the jury; and a verdict for nominal damages, approved by the trial judge, will not be disturbed by this court. Judgment affirmed.
