Coach Co., 225 N.C. 537, 35 S.E. 2d 609.\nWe are not prepared to say that such has been revealed or made manifest. Nor is it according to precedent to chart the course of the trial on close or attenuate motions to strike portions of the pleadings. Pemberton v. Greensboro, 205 N.C. 599, 172 S.E. 196; Hardy v. Dahl, 209 N.C. 746, 184 S.E. 480; Scott v. Bryan, 210 N.C. 478, 187 S.E. 756; Ludwick v. Ry. Co., 212 N.C. 664, 194 S.E. 282; Hill v. Stansbury, 221 N.C. 339, 20 S.E. 2d 308; Penny v. Stone, 228 N.C. 295, 45 S.E. 2d 362.\nThe same matters will be presented when the evidence is offered and they can then be readily determined by the rulings thereon. Of course, the judgment here appealed from would have no bearing on the competency of any evidence which may be offered on the hearing. But the defendants say they will be prejudiced by the reading of these challenged allegations to the jury. No more so, we apprehend, than the reading of the general allegations of negligence. The jury\u2019s verdict is to be rendered \u25a0on evidence \u2014 not on controverted allegations of the complaint. Hosiery Mill v. Hosiery Mills, 198 N.C. 596, 152 S.E. 794. It follows, therefore, that on the record as presented, no disturbance of the ruling is indicated \u2022or required.\nAffirmed.",

Appeal and Error \u00a7 40f\u2014\nThe denial of a motion to strike certain allegations from the pleadings will ordinarily be affirmed on appeal when the matter can best be presented by exceptions to the evidence.\nAppeal by defendants from Moore, J., at June Term, 1949, of BuN-GOMBE.\nCivil action to recover damages for death of plaintiff\u2019s intestate, alleged to have been caused by the wrongful act, neglect or default of the defendants.\nPlaintiff\u2019s intestate was a patient in Highland Hospital, Asheville, N. C., occupying a room in Central Building, on the night of 10-11 March, 1948, when said building was destroyed by fire and plaintiff\u2019s intestate suffocated.\nPlaintiff sets up a common-law action for negligence, and then in paragraph 9 of the complaint, adds seven specific allegations of negligence in violation of a city ordinance and under the General Statutes of North \u25a0Carolina relating to \u201cFire Prevention\u201d for \u201cHotels and other buildings of like occupancy.\u201d G.S. 69-27, et seq.\nIn apt time, the defendants moved to strike these specific allegations of ordinance and statutory violations from the complaint as being inapplicable, improper and prejudicial.\nThe motion was overruled, and the defendants appeal, assigning error \u201cin the signing of the judgment as appears in the record.\u201d\nW. R. McGuire, Jones S Ward, George Pennell, and Jesse A. Jones -for plaintiff, appellee.\nHarkins, Van Winkle <& Walton and H. G. Bryson for defendants, appellants."
