Supreme Court of North Carolina

Decided September 28, 1927Published

1Per curiam

The court below charged the jury clearly and accurately the law of actionable negligence applicable to the facts in the case.

From a careful reading of the record we can find no prejudicial or reversible error.

The action is similar and tried in accordance to the law as set forth in Farming Co. v. R. R., 189 N. C., 63. The same principle is set forth in C. & O. R. R. Co. v. Thompson Mfg. Co., 270 U. S., 416, 70 L. Ed., 659.

No error.
