However, the record discloses that the verdict rendered was \u201cguilty of assault on a female by a male person over the age of eighteen years.\u201d On appeal the record imports verity, and we are not permitted to consider any matter not appearing therein. A close scrutiny of the record fails to disclose any error of law, and therefore the judgment must stand.\nNo error.",
