Carpenter v. Yancey

Supreme Court of North Carolina
Carpenter v. Yancey, 56 S.E.2d 396 (N.C. 1949)
231 N.C. 160; 1949 N.C. LEXIS 491
PER CURIAM.

Carpenter v. Yancey

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

This was an action to recover of the defendants damages for breach of contract relative to the purchase of a house and lot in Gastonia. The case on appeal recites “writings purporting to set forth the terms of the contract were signed and exchanged.” On the trial the plaintiffs offered the oral testimony of one of the plaintiffs but declined to offer the written contract. The court held plaintiff had failed to make out a case, and entered judgment of nonsuit. We affirm.
