LILLIE T. OETTINGER et al. v. CITY OF KINSTON.

(Filed 12 October, 1932.)

Appeal by defendant from Sinclair, J., at February Term, 1932, of LeNOIE.

Civil action tried upon the following issues:

“1. "Was the injury and damage to plaintiffs’ property caused by the unlawful acts or omissions of the defendant, as alleged in the complaint ? Answer: Yes.

2. What damage, if any, have the plaintiffs sustained by reason of such unlawful acts or omissions? Answer: $2,000.”

From judgment on the verdict, the defendant appeals, assigning errors.

Wallace & White and Dawson & Jones for plaintiffs.

Sutton ■<& Greene for defendant.

Per Curiam.

A careful perusal of the record leaves us with the impression that the ease has been tried in substantial conformity to the decisions apposite, and that no reversible error has been made to appear.

The law on the subject has been settled in a number of cases, notably Gore v. Wilmington, 194 N. C., 450, 140 S. E., 71, and Yowmans v. Hendersonville, 175 N. C., 574, 96 S. E., 45.

No error.
