Douglas, J.,
concurring in result only: For the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in the case of Stewart v. Railroad Co., 128 N. C., 519, I can not concur in the opinion. I concur in the result only because his Honor appears to have fallen into' the error pointed out in Edwards v. Railroad, at this term, of assuming that if the defendant was negligent, such negligence was the proximate cause of the injury. The jury might have inferred this fact from the evidence, but the Court could not do so as matter of law.
O'LARK, J., concurs in the concurring opinion.
