Hence, the motions for judgment as in case of nonsuit were properly overruled.\nDefendant did not testify. Defendant offered evidence which, he contended, tended to show Buchanan was not a credible witness.\nAt trial, defendant was represented by able and experienced counsel. On this appeal, his counsel has overlooked no contention that might be made in defendant\u2019s behalf. However, the \u00a1 assignments do not disclose prejudicial error or present questions of sufficient substance to warrant detailed discussion. Hence, the verdict and judgment will not be disturbed.\nNo error.",
