Ward v. Nurney
Ward v. Nurney
Opinion of the Court
The defendant offered competent evidence tending to establish a warranty and the breach thereof. There was also evidence upon which a jury could have inferred that the plaintiff gave the note in controversy as a renewal of a former note after he had knowledge of the breach of warranty and the worthless condition of the car.
Manifestly, upon such facts, nothing else appearing, the peremptory instruction would have been correct. Barco v. Forbes, 194 N. C., 204, 139 S. E., 227; Bulluck Auto Co. v. Meyer, 206 N. C., 198, 172 S. E., 877.
However, the plaintiff testified that he did not know exactly when he bought the car, but did state positively, βAt the time I signed this note,
While tbe testimony is indefinite and wobbles considerably, nevertheless, it warranted submittal to tbe jury.
Reversed.
