Criminal Law § 160—

Appeal by defendant from Burgwyn, E. J., September 1960 Term, of Beaufort.
Defendant was charged in bills of indictment with assaults with a deadly weapon. The cases were consolidated for trial. Verdicts of guilty of simple assault were returned. Prison sentence of thirty days was imposed. Defendant excepted and appealed.
Attorney General Bruton and Assistant Attorney General Jones for the State.
LeRoy Scott and Carter & Ross for defendant appellant.
PeR Curiam.
The sufficiency of the evidence to support the charges was not challenged by motion to nonsuit or for directed verdict. To secure a new trial it is necessary for appellant, by proper assignment of error, Hunt v. Davis, 248 N.C. 69, 102 S.E. 2d 405, to show prejudicial error. Barefoot v. Rulnick, 252 N.C. 483, 113 S.E. 2d 921. Here appellant failed in both requirements.
Appeal dismissed.
