Jones v. Southern Railway Co. , 164 N.C. 392 ( 1913 )

Per Curiam.

We have examined the record, and find no merit in the exceptions taken, except that the defendant has the right to have the judgment modified to conform to -the yerdict, by striking out two cents of the recovery.

Counsel for the defendant have probably filed as valuable a brief as could'have been prepared, but we call the attention of the profession to the fact that it is no compliance with the rules to say, “Exception No. 1. This question and answer were incompetent.” “Exceptions 4 and 5.' These portions of the charge here excepted to are erroneous.”

Briefs, to be helpful to the Court and to litigants, should contain a succinct statement of the facts and the reasons for the exceptions taken, and the authorities relied on. A “pass brief” does no good to either.

No error.
