COLBERT et al. v. COLLINS et al.

No. 457

Supreme Court of North Carolina

April 30, 1947

The action was commenced by the above named plaintiffs against the above named defendants to recover damages for negligence alleged to have been caused by said defendants, and the defendants filed petition to the Superior Court of Franklin County for an order making Paul Ingram and Raymond Ingram parties defendant. The allegations are to the effect that there was a collision between the cars of W. B Colbert, driven by Shirley Colbert, minor, and the car of L L. Collins, driven by Maurice C. Collins, minor, in which collision a third car of Raymond Ingram, driven by Paul Ingram, became involved. The petition was denied by the Clerk of the Superior Court of Franklin County and an appeal was taken by the defendants to the judge holding the Courts, and upon such appeal the ruling of the Clerk was reversed by the judge by an order entered making said Paul Ingram and Raymond Ingram parties defendant. To such order the plaintiffs preserved exception and appealed to the Supreme Court assigning errors.

John F. Matthews, of Louisburg, for plaintiffs, appellants.

No appearance for defendants, appellees.
