The Court, being of the opinion that there was sufficient evidence to go to the jury upon the issue of negligence (Smith v. Coach Co., 214 N. C., 314; Gunn v. Taxi Co., 212 N. C., 540, 193 S. E., 28; Hedgecock v. Ins. Co., 212 N. C., 638, 194 S.

C., 577; Sebastian v. Motor Lines, 213 N. C., 770, 197 S. E., 539; Manheim v. Taxi Corp., 214 N. C., 689, 691; Mulford v. Hotel Co., 213 N. C., 603, 197 S. E., 169; Cole v. Koonce, 214 N.
