Where part of the answer to a question on cross-examination by defendant was uncalled for, held, on a motion by defendant\u2019s counsel to exclude the evidence, that there was no reversible error when the uncalled for part was read in connection with the preceding evidence of the witness.\n3. Damages, \u00a7 238*\u2014what objection cannot be first raised on appeal. An objection that certain hospital expenses, in an action to recover damages for personal injuries, were unnecessary cannot be raised for the first time on appeal.\n4. Damages, \u00a7 110*\u2014when verdict for permanent personal injuries is not excessive. A verdict for $5,250 held not excessive, where there was no contention plaintiff was not seriously injured, that he suffered much pain, and was still more or less of a cripple, and even defendant\u2019s experts did not testify he was not permanently injured.",
