From a judgment of nonsuit entered at the close of plaintiff's evidence, an appeal was taken to the Superior Court of Forsyth County, where the judgment of the County Court was affirmed, and the plaintiff again appeals, assigning error. Affirmed on authority of Coggins v. Ins. Co., 144 N.C. 7,56 S.E. 506, which is essentially on all-fours with the case at bar.

The cases of Arnold v. Ins. Co., 152 N.C. 232, 67 S.E. 574, andMortt v. Ins. Co., 192 N.C. 8, 133 S.E. 337, cited and relied upon by plaintiff, are readily distinguishable.

Affirmed.
