This is an action for damages for alleged personal injuries. At the conclusion of respondent’s testimony, appellant challenged the sufficiency of the evidence and moved the court for a judgment. The motion was denied. *515The respondent asked the court to continue the case so that he might be enabled to procure a witness whose testimony he regarded as essential.

From the ruling of the court in granting the nonsuit, this appeal is taken.
