        "text": "Per Curiam.\nThis is an action to recover damages for injury to p\u00e9rson and property suffered by the plaintiff at a railroad crossing. The Norfolk Southern Railroad Company and the Sinclair Refining Company were made parties defendant. The case was first tried in October, 1930, and was dismissed as to both defendants. The plaintiff appealed and this Court affirmed the judgment of nonsuit as to the Sinclair Refining Company and granted a new trial against the Railroad Company, 200 N. C., 784.\nThe cause again came on for trial at the March Term, 1932, of the Superior Court of Pitt County. The plaintiff alleged that on 11 March, 1928, about ten o\u2019clock in the morning, he was traveling on a public highway in the direction of Farmville and while crossing the railroad track was injured by the negligence of the defendant. The circumstances are set out in the complaint and need not be repeated. The defendant denied negligence and jdeaded the contributory negligence of the plaintiff. The usual issues were submitted to the jury and upon the return of a verdict favorable to the plaintiff he was given a judgment, from which the defendant appealed upon assigned error.\nThe defendant made the two statutory motions for nonsuit and excepted to the court\u2019s refusal to dismiss the action. This exception is overruled for the reason that the evidence does not differ materially and fundamentally from the evidence introduced on the first trial, the sufficiency of which to bar a nonsuit was adjudicated on the former appeal.\nThe appellant has several exceptions to the admission of evidence but we do not find reversible error in any one of them.\nNo error.",
