Beach v. Southern Railway Co.
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided May 29, 1908 · Walker
61 S.E. 669; 148 N.C. 169; 1908 N.C. LEXIS 173 (South Eastern Reporter)

Beach v. Southern Railway Co.

Opinion of the Court

Walker, J.

This case is in all essential respects like that of the case having the same title decided at this term. The plaintiff’s intestate was killed at the same time as was the intestate of the plaintiff in that case, and under the same circumstances. Our decision in this case is therefore the same as in that one. The rulings and judgment of the court as to the defendant’s liability to the plaintiff were erroneous, and the motion to nonsuit should have been sustained and the action dismissed.

Reversed.
