J.\nThe single imputed error \u201cin signing the judgment,\u201d presents only the question whether error appears on the face of the record.\nWhile extraneous matters in a pleading may invite or attract a motion to strike, this does not put the pleader in a strait-jacket in respect of pertinent allegations. Hill v. Stansbury, 221 N.C. 339, 20 S.E. 2d 308. Nor is it the province of an appeal in such cases to have this Court chart the course of the trial in advance of the hearing. There seems little or nothing extraneous in the present complaint when viewed in the light of the apposite decisions on the subject. Reaves v. Power Co., 206 N.C. 523, 174 S.E. 413; Dover v. Mfg. Co., 157 N.C. 324, 72 S.E. 1067; Cotton v. Transp. Co., 197 N.C. 709, 150 S.E. 505; Russell v. Cutshall, 223 N.C. 353, 26 S.E. 2d 866.\nIn addition, the reasons assigned by the trial court, bring the case clearly within the principle of Parker v. Duke University, 230 N.C. 656, 55 S.E. 2d 189. The case is controlled by the decision in that case.\nAffirmed.",

Appeal and Error \u00a7 40a\u2014\nA sole assignment of error to the signing of the judgment presents only the question whether error appears on the face of the record.\n2. 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 determined by rulings on the evidence.\nAppeal by defendant from Grady, Emergency Judge, September Term, 1949, of Wae:e.\nCivil action to recover damages arising out of a collision between plaintiff\u2019s automobile and defendant\u2019s truck at the intersection of Branch and Bloodworth Streets in the City of Raleigh.\nIt is alleged that at the time of the collision on 14 December, 1948, the defendant\u2019s truck was being operated by an incompetent, reckless and unreliable colored-boy, without driver\u2019s license, under the express direction and control of defendant\u2019s agent and driver, with the knowledge and consent of the defendant, actual or constructive.\nIn apt time, the defendant moved to strike from the complaint all the allegations pertaining to the actual operator of the truck as referring to its non-agent and being inapplicable, improper and prejudicial.\nThe motion was overruled, the court being of opinion that the more appropriate procedure would be to determine the matter at the hearing on rulings pertaining to the competency and sufficiency of the evidence. From this order, the defendant appeals, assigning as error \u201cthe signing of the foregoing judgment.\u201d\nMordecai & Mills for plaintiff, appellee.\nA. J. Fletcher and F. T. Dupree, Jr., for defendant, appellant."
