Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- In Virginia ,
non-constitutional error is harmless when it plainly appears from the
record and the evidence given at the trial that the parties have had a
fair trial on the merits and substantial justice has been reached.
- Assault and battery
requires proof of an overt act or an attempt with force and violence, to
do physical injury to the person of another, whether from malice or from
wantonness, together with the actual infliction of corporal hurt on
another willfully or in anger. One cannot be convicted of assault and
battery without an intention to do bodily harm - either an actual
intention or an intention imputed by law.
