Wright v. R. R., 155 N. C., 329; Horne v. R. R., 170 N. C., 660; Coleman v. R. R., 153 N. C., 322; Holton v. R. R., 188 N. C., 277.\nWe are convinced from a careful perusal of tbe record tbat tbe evidence was properly submitted to tbe jury. No benefit would be derived from detailing plaintiff\u2019s testimony, as tbe only question presented by tbis exception is wbetber or not it is sufficient to carry tbe case to tbe jury, and we think it is.
