Brown v. Piedmont Mfg. Co.
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
This is the second appeal in this case. The first appeal is Teported in 102 S. C. 223, 86 S. E. 814. The case was *346 again tried before Judge Moore, and a jury, at the November term, 1916, for Greenville count}', and resulted in a verdict in favor of plaintiff for $1,500. After entry of judgment defendant appeals. Exceptions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 complain of error of his Honor’s charge to the jury, and the other four exceptions complaint of error in overruling the defendant’s motion for a new trial.
The facts for the former appeal in substance constitute the facts of the present appeal as far as the plaintiff’s evidence is concerned, with the defendant’s evidence impeaching and contradicting that of the plaintiff of the issues involved.
*347 by his Honor’s charge to such an extent as to be prejudicial to the defendant and to such an extent as to work a reversal. The request complained of, considered in connection with the whole charge, is untenable.
All exceptions are overruled.
Judgment affirmed.

- Syllabus
- 1. Appeal and Error—Law op the Case—Question por Jury.—Where on appeal it was held that there was a question for a jury, such decision became the law of the case on a second trial, where plaintiff’s evidence was the same. 2. Master and Servant—Assumption op Risk.—On the question of assumption of risk, it was for the jury to determine whether the servant acted as one of ordinary prudence should act under similar circumstances, and it was not necessary that he should have “full knowledge” of the danger. 3. Trial—Instructions Construed as a Whole.—Although the Court erred in an instruction, it was not reversible error, where he corrected the mistake in further instructions, and the jury could not have been misled by the charge as a whole. 4. Appeal and Error—Motion por Nonsuit or Directed Verdict— Necessity.—Where a defendant'’made neither a motion for nonsuit nor for a directed verdict, he is precluded from any relief on appeal on questions of fact. 5. Courts—Rules,—The Supreme Court has a right, in the orderly conduct of business, to frame rules as to how the question of raising points shall be made and the manner in which they are to be first made, and in so doing it is not a denial, of right, but simply a question of practice, and inherently in the power of the Court to adopt.
