Wyatt v. City of Raleigh
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided October 18, 1916 · PER CURIAM.
90 S.E. 213; 172 N.C. 847; 1916 N.C. LEXIS 423 (South Eastern Reporter)

Counsel

Willis Smith for plaintiff. , John W. Hinsdale, Jr.-, for defendant.

Wyatt v. City of Raleigh

Opinion of the Court

Per Cukiam.

The only assignment of error relating to the evidence is to that of George M. Harden, who testified as to the condition of the streets of Raleigh on the morning that the accident occurred, and it is without merit. The other assignments of error, six in number, all relate to the first issue, referring to the alleged negligence of the defendant.

The said assignments are without merit. The charge is a clear and correct presentation of the well settled principles of law applicable to this case. But if the charge was in some respects erroneous, as contended by the plaintiff, it would not matter, for the jury found the second issue against the plaintiff, and there are no assignments of error as to the charge upon that issue.

No error.
