Per Curiam:
An examination of the testimony in this case has satisfied us that the defendant was clearly guilty. There were, however, requests to charge in relation to the character of the complaining witness as affecting her credibility which the defendant was entitled to have charged. But the counsel for the defendant took no exception to the refusal to charge, merely asking that the request to charge be spread upon the record. This is not equivalent to an exception. While in a case where there is serious doubt about the guilt of the defendant, the court would be justified in reversing without an exception, in consequence of the great preponderance of proof upon the trial showing the guilt of the defendant, we do not feel called upon to reverse this judgment in the absence of an exception. The judgment is, therefore, affirmed. Present — Ingraham, P. J., McLaughlin, Laughlin, Dowling and Hotchkiss, JJ. Judgment and order affirmed.
