Hence, the verdict and judgment will not be disturbed.\nNo error.",

    "head_matter": "BEULAH G. SMITH and ROYAL INDEMNITY COMPANY v. ROBERT L. FREEMAN.\n(Filed 21 March, 1956.)\nAppeal by plaintiffs from Bone, J., December, 1955, Civil Term, of WILSON.\nCivil action growing out of automobile collision that occurred 15 June, 1954, in a residential district of Elm City, North Carolina.\nPlaintiff Smith was driving her Chrysler car east on Main Street. Defendant was driving his Ford car south on Anderson Street. Their cars collided within the intersection of these streets. Both cars were damaged and each driver sustained personal injuries. Each alleged that the collision was caused by the negligence of the other.\nRoyal Indemnity Company was made a party plaintiff because of a payment made by it to plaintiff Smith under a collision insurance policy on the Chrysler car.\nIssues of negligence, contributory negligence and damages, arising on the pleadings, were submitted to the jury, as to plaintiffs\u2019 action and separately as to defendant\u2019s cross action. In respect of each set of issues, the jury answered both the negligence issue and the contributory negligence issue, \u201cYes,\u201d and did not answer the issues relating to damages.\nJudgment was entered, (1) that plaintiffs recover nothing on their action, (2) that defendant recover nothing on his cross action, and (3) that plaintiffs pay the costs. Plaintiffs excepted and appealed, assigning as error (1) the denial of plaintiff Smith\u2019s motion for judgment of nonsuit as to defendant\u2019s cross action, and (2) designated portions of the charge.\nTalmadge L. Narron for plaintiffs, appellants.\nDupree, Weaver & Montgomery for defendant, appellee."
