There are 41 assignments of error in tbe record. Five of them relate to tbe evidence. Tbe remaining assignments are directed to tbe charge of tbe judge. It is impossible to consider all of tbe assignments in an opinion of reasonable length. We have carefully examined them, and can find no substantial error. Tbe charge of tbe judge is full and clear, and based upon tbe principles of law as laid down in Bagwell v. R. R., 167 N. C., 611, and Crampton v. Ivie, 126 N. C., 894.

No error.
