See case as reported on first appeal.\nTbe court denied tbe first part of tbe motion on tbe ground of res judi-cata (Revis v. Ramsey, 202 N. C., 815), and allowed tbe second part in bis discretion. Botb sides appeal. Tbe ruling on tbe first part of tbe motion is affirmed on wbat was said in Hampton v. Spinning Co., 198 N. C., 235, 151 S. E., 266, and tbat on tbe second part on authority of Grant v. Burgwyn, 88 N.
