"Action for damages to plaintiff's automobile, commenced in Greenville County Court on March 12, 1923, by E.C. York against Mrs. Eileen Hunt Charles, the alleged damages growing out of a collision between a public service car owned and operated by plaintiff and a car owned by defendant; said collision having occurred on a bridge on the August road, near the City of Greenville. Defendant answered and also set up a counterclaim alleging damages to her car and asking judgment against the plaintiff. The case was tried before Judge M.F. Ansel and a jury at the December term, 1923, resulting in a verdict for the defendant. Motion for new trial by plaintiff made and refused. Plaintiff appeals on various exceptions, and defendant moves to sustain judgment entered on the verdict on the grounds hereinafter set forth."
