D. T. SMITHWICK v. SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY COMPANY.
(Filed 22 December, 1908.)
Instructions.
In this case the assignments of error were to the judge’s charge, in which no substantial error was found on appeal.
ActioN tried before Lyon, J., and a jury, at April Term, 1908, of Fbanklin, for damages for personal injury.
The court submitted the usual issues. The jury found for plaintiff, and from the judgment rendered the defendant appealed.
William H. Ruffin, and Spruill & Holden for plaintiff.
Day, Bell & Allen and T. W. Bickett for defendant.

Opinion:
Per Curiam:
The evidence tends to prove that the plaintiff was seriously injured in an accident caused by the train of defendant running beyond the end of the track at the Louisburg station.
The negligence of the defendant was properly admitted. There was no issue as to contributory negligence submitted, and the several assignments of error relate to the instructions of the court upon the issue of damage.
Upon examination we found no substantial error committed by the judge below, and there is- nothing disclosed by the record which we think necessitates a new trial.
No Error.
