43 S.E. 592 | N.C. | 1903
This is an action of ejectment for two tracts of land, one of 17 acres and one of 50 acres. At the close of the plaintiff's testimony the defendant moved to "nonsuit the plaintiffs under the statute" because they had failed to make out a case. The motion was allowed, and the plaintiffs appealed. The surveyor, witness for the plaintiff, testified "it is not possible to locate the 17-acre tract," and without going over the testimony in detail, it is sufficient to say that his Honor's conclusion was clearly correct as to both tracts.
It is proper to note that, though a plat is referred to in the pleadings and evidence and is necessary to the understanding of the appeal, only two copies are sent up with the record. While the Court does not require that maps, plats, and similar exhibits should be printed, the same number of copies (15) thereof should be filed as is required to be filed of the printed records and briefs. In Smith v. Fite,
The judgment of nonsuit is
