Head Matter:
JOHN F. DEES, Administrator, v. HALL BALLARD et al.
(Filed 16 December, 1936.)
Appeal by plaintiff from Shaw, Emergency Judge, at May Term, 1936, of RICHMOND.
Civil action to recover damages for death of plaintiff’s intestate, a boy seven years of age, alleged to have been caused by the wrongful act, neglect, or default of the defendants.
On 3 July, 1934, an automobile in which, plaintiff’s intestate was riding collided with a car owned and operated at the time by Hall Ballard.
There was a verdict and judgment against the defendant Ballard for $650.00.
Plaintiff appeals from a judgment of nonsuit entered, at the close of all the evidence, in favor of the defendant John L. Everett, Jr.
William G. Pittman, Douglass & Douglass, and, B. L. McMillcm for plaintiff, appellant.
Jones & Jones for defendants, appellees.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
It was alleged that Ballard was in the employ of the defendant Everett at the time of the collision, transporting "hands" to his threshing machine. The evidence fails to support this allegation. There was no error in dismissing the action as to the defendant Everett.
Affirmed.
