Gentry v. Lumber Co.

Supreme Court of North Carolina
Dec 1, 1923
120 S.E. 344 (N.C. 1923)

Opinion

(Filed 20 December, 1923.)

APPEAL by defendant from Bryson, J., at September Term, 1923, of HAYWOOD.

Morgan Ward for plaintiff.

Alley Alley for defendants.


Civil action, tried upon the following issues:

"1. Was the plaintiff injured by the negligence of the defendants, as alleged in the complaint? Answer: `Yes.'

"2. Did the plaintiff, by his own negligence, contribute to his own injury, as alleged in the answer? Answer: `No.'

"3. What damage, if any, is the plaintiff entitled to recover? Answer: `$7,500.'"

From a judgment on the verdict in favor of plaintiff, the defendant appealed.


The only material exception presented in this case is one directed to the court's charge on the measure of damages. The instruction here complained of is substantially the same instruction as that given on the issue of damages in Murphy v. Lumber Co., ante, 746, just decided, and which was there the subject of exception. The present case is controlled by what we said in the Murphy case.

No error.
