From the pleadings in this cause the usual issues are us follows: (1) Was the plaintiff injured by the negligence of the defendant, as alleged in the complaint? (2) Did the plaintiff by his own negligence contribute to his injury, as alleged in the answer? (3) What amount of damage, if any, is plaintiff entitled to recover?
The action was commenced in the General County Court of Buncombe County. From the charge of the judge in the general county court, it appeárs that the above issues were submitted to the jury, but the issues and answers thereto and judgment of the general county court, do not appear in the record. The material exceptions and assignments of error made by plaintiff in the general county court relate to certain evidence and the charge on the first issue as to negligence. From the record we do not know how the issues were answered.
We have frequently called to the attention of the profession the importance of care being taken in making up appeals to this Court. We have spent considerable time in examining the record and briefs in this action, so that an opinion could be written as to an interesting question of law presented, on the judge’s charge in the General County Court of Buncombe County, to which plaintiff excepted and assigned error. On appeal to the Superior Court the plaintiff’s exceptions and assignments of error were overruled by the Superior Court and plaintiff then appealed to the Supreme Court, relying alone on the exception and assignment of error in reference to certain parts of the charge of the judge in the General County Court of Buncombe County relating *60to the issue of negligence. No- issues and answers thereto or judgment in the general county court, from which plaintiff appealed to the Superior Court, making exceptions and assignments of error, appear in the record. The only exception and assignment of error on appeal to this Court by plaintiff applies to the alleged error on the issue of negligence, non constat the second issue of contributory negligence may have been decided against plaintiff and the alleged error on the first issue, of which plaintiff complains of the charge of the judge in the General County Court of Buncombe County, even if valid, would be immaterial and not prejudicial. We just do not know how this is.
The appeal of plaintiff is dismissed. Pruitt v. Wood, 199 N. C., 788.
Dismissed.
