Pigford v. Goldsboro Lumber Co.
Supreme Court of North Carolina
Pigford v. Goldsboro Lumber Co., 102 S.E. 893 (N.C. 1920)
179 N.C. 683; 1920 N.C. LEXIS 320
PER CURIAM.
Pigford v. Goldsboro Lumber Co.
Opinion of the Court
The defendant moved to nonsuit in apt time upon the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to go to the jury tending to prove that plaintiffs’ property was burned as a result of defendant’s negligence. That is the only assignment of error. It is unnecessary to set out the evidence. It is largely circumstantial, but it is in our opinion amply sufficient in probation for us to warrant the judge in submitting the issues to the jury. Circumstantial evidence, as stated in Ashford v. Pittman, 160 N. C., 4Y, has often been allowed to determine more serious issues than those submitted in this ease.
No error.
