Description

Nothing is better settled in law than the rule that in all cases tried by a jury the judgment must be supported by and conform to the verdict in all substantial particulars. Speight v. Anderson, 226 N.C. 492, 39 S.E.2d 371; Supply Co. v. Horton, 220 N.C. 373, 17 S.E.2d 493; Durham v. Davis, 171 N.C. 305, 88 S.E. 433. When the verdict of the jury in the case at bar is interpreted in the light of the pleadings, the evidence, the issues, and the charge, it is plain that it contains no finding sufficient to impose any liability upon the feme plaintiff, Cleota Hutchins, with respect to the counterclaims asserted in the answer of the defendant. King v. Elliott, 197 N.C. 93, 147 S.E. 701; Sitterson v. Sitterson, 191 N.C. 319, 131 S.E. 641, 51 A.L.R. 760; Merrill v. Tew, 183 N.C. 172, 110 S.E. 850; Croom v. Lumber Co., 182 N.C. 217, 108 S.E. 735; Balcum v. Johnson, 177 N.C. 213, 98 S.E. 532; Weldon v. R.R., 177 N.C. 179, 98 S.E. 375; Jones v. R.R., 176 N.C. 260, 97 S.E. 48; Bank v. Wilson, 168 N.C. 557, 84 S.E. 866; Donnell v. Greensboro, 164 N.C. 330, 80 S.E. 377; McAdoo v. R.R., 105 N.C. 140, 11 S.E. 316. Hence, the court erred in adjudging that the defendant is entitled to recover anything of the feme plaintiff, Cleota Hutchins, upon the counterclaims, and her exception to the judgment is sustained.
