Scheiber, 209 N. C., 441, 184 S. E., 17). It appeared that in the\nother ease the plaintiff\u2019s intestate, Essie Jackson, was not a party, and in the trial in which the son\u2019s testimony was taken had no right or opportunity to cross-examine him. The rule was laid down in Hartis v. Electric R. R., 162 N. C., 236, 78 S. E., 164, that the admissibility of evidence taken in another case depends upon the identity of the question being investigated and upon the opportunity of the party against whom the evidence is offered to cross-examine. For that reason it would seem that the ruling of the court below must be sustained.\nWe have examined the other exceptions noted by appellant, and find in them no substantial merit.\nIn the trial we find\nNo error.",

No error.\nThis was an action to recover for medical and hospital expenses incurred and for lost services of the minor son of plaintiff\u2019s intestate, alleged to have resulted from the negligence of the defendant in the operation of an automobile. Robert Pearson was not served with summons.\nThe jury answered the issues in favor of the plaintiff, and from judgment on the verdict defendant Scheiber appealed.\nO. H. Gover, William T.
