S. v. Jenkins, 182 N. C., 818.

There was sufficient evidence ‍​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​​‍to justify the verdict, and the defendant’s motion to dismiss as in case of nonsuit was properly overruled. S. ‍​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​​‍v. Carlson, 171 N. C., 823.
