Brooks v. . R. R.
Supreme Court of North Carolina
Brooks v. . R. R., 20 S.E. 190 (N.C. 1894)
115 N.C. 624
AVERY, J.
Brooks v. . R. R.
Opinion of the Court
(For syllabus, see Hansley v. Jamesville and Washington Railroad, at this term.) Though a critical examination of the assignments of error shows that some of the instructions given to the jury and excepted to by defendant were erroneous, upon different grounds, yet we deem it best to hold that this case depends upon the principle announced in the opinion in Hansley v.R. R., ante, 602, in reference to the allowance of vindictive damages, and therefore we grant a new trial.
