Opinion
Filed 3 May, 1961.
APPEAL by respondents from Sharp, S.J., July, 1960 Term, RANDOLPH Superior Court.
H. Wade Yates, for petitioner, appellee.
Ottway Burton, Linwood T. Peoples, for respondents, appellants.
The petitioners instituted this proceeding to acquire, by condemnation, an easement over respondents' lands for the purpose of constructing a sewer line. The one issue raised by the pleadings is the amount of just compensation the respondents are entitled to recover for the easement rights taken.
The commissioners awarded $254.70. The respondents appealed to the superior court where the jury awarded $400.00. The court entered judgment on the verdict, from which the respondents appealed.
The record shows this cause was carefully and accurately tried by the Presiding Judge. The assignments of error are without merit.
No error.
