On appeal we reversed the judgment of compulsory nonsuit, 265 N.C. 404, 144 S.E. 2d 241. Reference is hereby made to that decision for a detailed statement of plaintiff\u2019s evidence.\nThe jury, under application of well-settled principles of law, found by its verdict that plaintiff was injured and his automobile damaged by the negligence of defendant Hatten as alleged in the complaint, and that the plaintiff by his own negligence contributed to his injury and damage as alleged in the answer. A careful examination of plaintiff\u2019s assignments of error discloses no new question or feature requiring extended discussion. Neither reversible nor prejudicial error has been made to appear. All plaintiff\u2019s assignments of error are overruled, and the verdict and judgment will be upheld.\nNo error.",
