Weight, C. J.

Tbe error assigned in tbis case, refers to tbe overruling ‍​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍of plaintiff’s motion for a new trial. By reference to this motion, we learn that it was based upon tbe ground, that tbe court ‍​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍erred in refusing certain instructions. To tbe overruling of tbe motion, plaintiff excepted, but there is nothing to show that be excepted or made ‍​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍any objection at tbe time tbe instructions were refused.

Held, That having failed to feast bis exceptions to tbe ruling of tbe court, in refusing ‍​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍said instructions, at tbe time of such refusal, it was too late to do so after verdict, and that tbis court would not inquire ‍​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‍whether they should or should not have been given. Rollins v. Tucker, 8 Iowa, 213.

Judgment affirmed.
