Heading: Assignments of Error 8-13 and 22-25

Text: These assignments relate to the trial court's refusal to grant the affirmative charge both with and without hypothesis (defendants' requested Charges 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, A, B, C and D). These assignments of error are referred to in one brief paragraph in appellants' brief. Assignments of error not substantially argued in brief will be deemed waived and will not be considered by the court. (Emphasis supplied)Revised Rules of Supreme Court of Alabama, Rule 9(d). Appellants' only argument is that the investigation was conducted within reasonable and proper bounds. This, we feel, was certainly a question of fact for determination by the jury, rather than a question of law for determination by the court. The mere insistence of error without mention of authority does not amount to an argument. Cairnes v. Hillman Drug Co., 214 Ala. 545, 108 So. 362.
