(Filed 31 May, 1924.)

Appeal by defendant from McEl/roy, J., at February Term, 1924, of Haywood.

Civil action to recover damages for an alleged negligent injury.

Tbe usual issues of negligence, contributory negligence and damages were submitted to tbe jury and answered by tbem in favor of tbe plaintiff. Judgment on tbe verdict. Defendant appeals.

Morgan & Ward for 'plaintiff.

Martin, Rollins & Wright, Alley & Alley, and Merrimon, Adams & Johnston for defendant.

Per Curiam.

Upon warmly contested issues of fact, tbe jury returned a verdict in favor of tbe plaintiff. We bave found no sufficient reason for disturbing tbe result of tbe trial. Hence' tbe verdict and judgment will be upheld.

Tbe record presents no new or novel point of law not heretofore settled by our decisions, and it would only be a work of supererogation, or “threshing over old straw,” to discuss tbe exceptions, seriatim. No error has been made to appear.

No error.
