Per Curiam.

This case involves no new question requiring extended discussion. A careful examination of the record leaves us with the impression it is free of prejudicial error. See S. v. Rainey, 236 N.C. 738, 741, 74 S.E. 2d 39, 41; S. v. Honeycutt, 237 N.C. 595, 599, 75 S.E. 2d 525, 527. The verdict and judgments will be upheld.

No error.
