Owen v. Williams

Supreme Court of North Carolina
May 1, 1937
191 S.E. 328 (N.C. 1937)

Opinion

(Filed 19 May, 1937.)

APPEAL by defendant from Armstrong, J., at February Term, 1937, of DAVIDSON.

Don A. Walser, J. Lee Wilson, and Carl C. Wilson for plaintiffs, appellees.

W. O. Burgin and Phillips Bower for defendant, appellant.


Civil actions, brought separately by husband and wife, to recover for services rendered defendant's intestate during her lifetime, by consent consolidated and tried together.

From verdict and judgment for plaintiff in each case, the defendant appeals, assigning errors.


It may be fairly debatable whether the case falls in the category of Nesbitt v. Donoho, 198 N.C. 147, 150 S.E. 875, or Staley v. Lowe, 197 N.C. 243, 148 S.E. 240, but as there was no motion to nonsuit, and the record is barren of any exceptive assignment of error predicable of a new trial, the verdicts and judgments will be upheld. See Bank v. McCullers, 201 N.C. 412, 160 S.E. 497; Edwards v. Matthews, 196 N.C. 39, 144 S.E. 300; Winkler v. Killian, 141 N.C. 575, 54 S.E. 540.

No error.
