1Opinion of the CourtPullen, P. J.

This in an appeal from a judgment of nonsuit in an action alleging wilful misconduct, brought by plaintiff against defendants.

The court may grant a nonsuit only when, disregarding conflicting evidence and giving to plaintiff all the value to which it is legally entitled, therein indulging in every legitimate inference which may be drawn from the evidence, the result is a determination that there is no evidence of sufficient substantiality to support a verdict or judgment in his favor if such were given. (Perera v. Panama Pacific International Exposition Co., 179 Cal. 63 [175 Pac. 454].)
