Harris v. Smith

Opinion of the Court

Stacy, C. J.

Viewing the evidence in its most favorable light for the plaintiff, as we are required to do on motion to nonsuit, it appears to be sufficient to carry the case to the jury, albeit the damages shown would seem to be slight or only nominal. See Gulley v. Raynor, 185 N. C., 96, 116 S. E., 171; Perry v. Kime, 169 N. C., 540, 86 S. E., 337; Machine Co. v. Tobacco Co., 141 N. C., 284, 53 S. E., 885; Herring v. Armwood, 130 N. C., 177, 41 S. E., 96; Spencer v. Hamilton, 113 N. C., 49, 18 S. E., 167.
