Opinion:
Pee Curiam.
The burden is on appellant to show prejudicial error amounting to the denial of some substantial right. Kennedy v. James, 252 N.C. 434, . S.E. 2d . A careful examination of defendant's assignments of error discloses no prejudicial error that would justify a new trial. All these assignments of error are overruled. The verdict and judgment will be upheld.
No error.
