Supreme Court of North Carolina
Apr 1, 1959
108 S.E.2d 447 (N.C. 1959)

Opinion

Filed 29 April 1959.

APPEAL by plaintiff from Johnston, J., November Term, 1958, of RANDOLPH.

Don Davis for plaintiff, appellant.

No counsel contra.


Civil action to recover compensation for service.

Prior to trial, demurrers by defendants Etta Matthews and Lee Brown were sustained; and, as to them, the action was dismissed. Plaintiff did not except to or appeal from these rulings.

At trial, the jury, answering the one issue submitted, found that plaintiff was entitled to recover from defendant Daniel Lewis Matthews the sum of $100.00. Judgment, in accordance with verdict, was entered. Plaintiff excepted and appealed, assigning errors.


While each of plaintiff's assignments has been carefully considered, none discloses prejudicial error or merits particular discussion. Hence, the verdict and judgment will not be disturbed.

No error.
