Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The evidence for plaintiff fails to make out a prima facie case on the essential facts necessary under the doctrine of re-spondeat superior to hold the defendant Swinson responsible for the alleged negligent acts or tort of the defendant Yita. These essentials have been stated repeatedly in decisions of this Court, among which are: Linville v. Nissen, 162 N. C., 95, 77 S. E., 1096; Grier v. Grier, 192 N. C., 760, 135 S. E., 852; Martin v. Bus Line, 197 N. C., 720, 150 S. E., 501; Jeffrey v. Mfg. Co., 197 N. C., 724, 150 S. E., 503; Cole v. Funeral Home, 207 N. C., 271, 176 S. E., 553; Van Landingham v. Sewing Machine Co., 207 N. C., 355, 177 S. E., 126; Shoemake v. Refining Co., 208 N. C., 124, 179 S. E., 334; Parrish v. Mfg. Co., 211 N. C., 7, 188 S. E., 817; Liverman v. Cline, 212 N. C., 43, 192 S. E., 902.

The decision in the Van Landingham case, supra, is particularly pertinent to the present case.
