ASSAULT AND BATTERY, § 26 — when judgment for damages for alleged indecent assault on female will be reversed. On appeal to review judgment on verdict for damages for alleged indecent assault, claimed to have been made by defendant chiropractor on plaintiff, who was adult female patient of defendant, held that, if jury had been properly instructed, Appellate Court would not have been justified in holding that verdict was against manifest weight of evidence, but that, since evidence was in direct conflict, it was necessary that jury be accurately instructed and that, because there was error both in instructing of jury and also in admission of certain testimony, judgment would be reversed and cause would be remanded for new trial.
