Without detailing the evidence it is sufficient to say that it falls short of making out a case against the defendant Porter. At least, the appellant, who is required to handle the laboring oar, has failed to overcome the presumption against error. Bailey v. McKay, 198 N. C., 638, 152 S. E., 893.

Affirmed.
