Only a question of fact is involved in this case. Trouble arose between two small boys—one fourteen and the other seven years of age—over a can of fish-bait and some peanuts. On the ground near them lay a loaded shotgun belonging to a third child, aged twelve. The oldest boy seized the gun, pointed it at the seven-year-old child, and discharged it in his face, wounding him and destroying one of his eyes. Upon the trial for assault with intent to murder a verdict of “shooting at another,” with a recommendation to mercy, was returned; the jury declining to believe the defendant’s statement. The verdict was amply authorized by the evidence, and this court can not interfere.

Judgment affirmed.
