1Opinion of the Court
Avery, J.:
Though, in some of its features, there are slight differences between the case presented by this appeal and that considered when a new trial was awarded to the plaintiff at September term, 1890 (107 N. C., 240), the main question involved is the same. Under the guise of a second appeal, the defendant company insists that this Court shall review and overrule its former decision, as if it were a rehearing.
There is no branch of the law as to which, in all of its ramifications, there is so much conflict in the rulings of the various courts of appeal, and so great a diversity of opinion…
