The first assignment of error is as follows: “Exceptions 1 to 16, inclusive, relate to the introduction of evidence. (R, pp. 6 to 14, inclusive.)” And the third assignment of error is of the same tenor. Ye are precluded from considering these exceptions, as they do not comply with the rules of practice prescribed for the presentation of exceptions on appeal. Rules are of no value unless they are to be observed uniformly and without exception, in the absence of some valid reason therefor. Leonard v. Davis, 187 N. C., 471.

The defendant’s motion for judgment as of nonsuit, made at the close of plaintifE’s- evidence, was properly overruled.

The verdict and judgment will be upheld.

No error.
