Beam v. Seaboard Air Line Railway Co., 187 N.C. 854 (1924)

March 26, 1924 · Supreme Court of North Carolina
187 N.C. 854

G. M. BEAM, Administrator HERBERT L. JONES, v. SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY COMPANY.

(Filed 26 March, 1924.)

Appeal by plaintiff from Calvert, J., at August Term, 1923, of FeANICLIN.

Civil action to recover damages for an alleged negligent killing of plaintiff’s intestate.

Upon denial of liability and issues joined, there was a verdict and judgment for the defendant. Plaintiff appeals, assigning errors.

Jas. H. Pou, W. M. Person, G. M. Beam, and W. H. Yarborough for plaintiff.

Murray Allen and B. T. Holden for defendant.

Per Curiam.

The trial of this cause reduced itself to a controversy over issues of fact, wbicb the jury alone could determine. A careful perusal of the record convinces us that the case has been tried substantially in accord with the settled principles of law bearing on the subject, and we have discovered no ruling or action on the part of the trial court which would seem to require another hearing. The case presents no new question.

No error.
