Defendant committed a deliberate and premeditated assault; exemplary damages were inappropriate under binding authority restricting punitive awards, but aggravated damages could be awarded for the outrageous conduct and injury to feelings; service of notice was properly effected under Rule 38E(a) allowing the hearing in defendant's absence; award of aggravated damages of $2,000 with costs was justified.
