        "text": "BROCK, Judge.\nDefendant assigns as error that the trial court denied his motion to quash the indictment. He contends that the description of the premises, allegedly broken into, is insufficient. Defendant cites State v. Burgess, 1 N.C. App. 142, 160 S.E. 2d 105, where this Court said, \u201cIn the light of the growth in population and in the number of structures (domestic, business and governmental), the prosecuting offices of this State would be well advised to identify the subject premises by street address, highway address, rural road address or some clear description and designation to set the subject premises apart from like and other structures. . . .\u201d The advice given in Burgess is as applicable, if not more so, today than it was in 1968. However, the bill of indictment in this case describes the subject premises as a building occupied by one Dairy Bar, Inc., Croasdaile Shopping Center in the County of Durham. There could hardly be confusion as to which building in Croasdaile Shopping Center the indictment refers, nor can there reasonably be any confusion about which building belonging to Dairy Bar, Inc., the indictment refers. It is not likely that Dairy Bar, Inc., ran two businesses by the same name in one shopping center. We hold that the bill of indictment adequately described the premises and defendant\u2019s motion to quash was properly denied.\nDefendant next assigns as error that the trial court erred when it denied his motion for nonsuit made at the close of the State\u2019s evidence. Following the place in the record on appeal where defendant\u2019s motion for nonsuit at the close of the State\u2019s evidence is recorded, appears the following: \u201cThe defendants each put on evidence which is not set forth in narrative form since it is not necessary to the consideration of the questions raised by this appeal.\u201d The record on appeal, including the foregoing statement, was agreed to by the solicitor.\nG.S. 15-173 provides in pertinent part: \u201cIf the defendant introduces evidence, he thereby waives any motion for dismissal or judgment as in case of nonsuit which he may have made prior to the introduction of his evidence and cannot urge such prior motion as ground for appeal.\u201d The provisions of G.S. 15-173.1, allowing review on appeal of the sufficiency of the State\u2019s evidence in a criminal case without regard to whether motion for nonsuit has been made or not, does not change the foregoing rule. When the defendant offers evidence, he waives the motion lodged, either actually or by statute, at the close of the State\u2019s evidence and only the motion lodged at the close of all the evidence is considered. State v. Sallie, 13 N.C. App. 499, 186 S.E. 2d 667. In considering the motion for nonsuit lodged at the close of all the evidence, any portion of defendant\u2019s evidence which is favorable to the State and any portion of defendant\u2019s evidence which explains or clarifies the State\u2019s evidence is to be considered. See, State v. Jones, 280 N.C. 60, 184 S.E. 2d 862. By omitting defendant\u2019s evidence from the record on appeal, defendant would deprive the State of the benefit of such portions of defendant\u2019s evidence which are entitled to consideration under our rules. Therefore, we cannot consider defendant\u2019s motion. In any event the evidence was more than ample to require submission of the case to the jury. This assignment of error is overruled.\nNo error.\nChief Judge Mallard and Judge Campbell concur.",

Burglary and Unlawful Breakings \u00a7 3; Indictment and Warrant \u00a7 9\u2014 breaking and entering \u2014 description of premises\nA bill of indictment alleging that defendant broke and entered a building occupied by one Dairy Bar, Inc., Croasdaile Shopping Center in the County of Durham, described the premises with sufficient particularity to withstand defendant\u2019s motion to quash.\n2. Criminal Law \u00a7 105 \u2014 offer of evidence by defendant \u2014 waiver of prior nonsuit motion\nWhen defendant offers evidence, he waives the motion for non-suit made, either actually or by virtue of G.S. 15-173, at the close of the State\u2019s evidence, and only the motion made at the close of all the evidence is considered.\n3.Criminal Law \u00a7 105 \u2014 motion for nonsuit \u2014 omission of defendant\u2019s evidence from record\nDefendant\u2019s motion for nonsuit at the close of all the evidence cannot be considered by the appellate court where defendant\u2019s evidence was omitted from the record on appeal, since the State is entitled to the benefit of any portion of defendant\u2019s evidence which is favorable to the State or which explains or clarifies the State\u2019s evidence.\nAppeal by defendant from McKinnon, Judge, 25 October 1971 Session of Superior Court held in Durham County.\nDefendant was tried and convicted of felonious breaking and entering and felonious larceny.\nState\u2019s evidence tended to show that at about midnight on 6 August 1971, in response to a police radio call that someone was thought to be inside the Dairy Bar at Croasdaile Shopping Center, two deputies of the Durham County Sheriff went to the premises. Upon arrival, they found an automobile parked on the side of the Dairy Bar building. A subject was on the front seat of the automobile, facing the rear, stacking cartons of beer on the back seat. A noise was heard inside the store and upon command defendant came out. Another subject was found in a rest room inside the building. Cases of cold beer, taken from the cooler, were stacked' on the floor beside the door. The front door had been broken open and the slats and louvers were out.\nThe record on appeal does not disclose defendant\u2019s evidence.\nAttorney General Morgan, by Associate Attorney Ricks, for the State.\nRowe, Porter & Alphin, by William G. Harriss, for defendant."
