West v. Johnson, 197 N.C. 789 (1929)

Sept. 25, 1929 · Supreme Court of North Carolina
197 N.C. 789

E. C. WEST v. NATHAN JOHNSON and JOHNSON COTTON COMPANY.

(Filed 25 September, 1929.)

Appeal by defendants from Lyon, Emergency Judge, and a jury, at April Term, 1929, of Harnett.

No error.

Clifford & Williams for plaintiff.

James Best and R. L. Godwin for defendants.

Per Curiam.

Plaintiff brings this action against defendants, alleging a written agreement between them, a performance on his part and a breach on the part of defendants. Defendants were to furnish plaintiff notes, judgments, accounts, etc., for plaintiff to collect on a basis of 25%. The plaintiff demanded judgment against defendants for $969.25, and interest.

The issues submitted to the jury and their answer thereto was as follows:

β€œIs the defendant due the plaintiff anything; if so, in what amount? Answer: $450 with interest.”

From a careful inspection of the record, we do not think there is sufficient cause shown to disturb the verdict and judgment.

No error.
