Heading: on motion to disallow damages

Text: LEE, J. Appellants have filed a motion to disallow the damages of ten percent, under Paragraphs (d) and (e), Section 6998-19, Vol. 5A, Code of 1942, adjudged against them by the circuit court in its affirmance of the award by the Commission. In the original presentation of this cause, the appellants neither assigned, briefed, nor argued this question. In Childress v. State, 188 Miss. 573, 195 So. 583, the Court said: There was an assignment as to an argument alleged to have been made by the district attorney, but it is not briefed and therefor waived. In Coleman v. State, 198 Miss. 519, 23 So.2d 404, the Court said: Two of appellant's five assignments of error are not argued and therefore do not require review. In Hassell v. State, No. 40,358, decided January 21, 1957, but not yet reported, it was said: On his appeal here, three alleged errors are assigned. However two of them are not argued, and of course, they do not require review, citing Childress v. State, supra, and Coleman v. State, supra. (Hn 7) The Court therefore declines to consider now a point which was not assigned, briefed or argued on the original presentation. (Hn 8) Neither will the Court, save in exceptional cases, examine a point raised and presented for the first time in a suggestion of error.  Dixie Greyhound Lines, Inc. v. Miss. Public Service Commission, 190 Miss. 704, 200 So. 579, 1 So.2d 489. Motion overruled. McGehee, C.J., and Hall, Holmes and Arrington, JJ., concur.
