Jones v. . Craddock
Supreme Court of North Carolina · Decided March 17, 1937 · PER CURIAM.
190 S.E. 224; 211 N.C. 382; 1937 N.C. LEXIS 95 (South Eastern Reporter)

Jones v. . Craddock

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

As the verdict is supported by the evidence, there was no error in submitting the issue of contributory negligence to the jury.

The statement on the former appeal, “The contention that the plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence on her own statement is untenable on this record” (210 N. C., 429, 187 S. E., 558), was hot intended to preclude the submission of the issue to the jury, but had reference to the motion to nonsuit, the only matter then being considered. Hayes v. Tel. Co., ante, 192.

The verdict and judgment will be upheld.

No error.
