Court of Appeals of North Carolina February 2, 1977, No. 7624SC648 (Town of Mars Hill v. Honeycutt)

HEDRICK, Judge.

The Town of Mars Hill contends the court erred in denying its motions for a directed verdict. It argues that the evidence is not sufficient to support a finding by the jury that any negligence on its part was the proximate cause of the loss of Honeycutt’s fish. We do not agree.

The Supreme Court stated in Mosseller v. Asheville, 267 N.C. 104, 107, 147 S.E. 2d 558, 561, 20 A.L.R.
