Clyde Cooper v. State

It was admitted that the present action is between the same parties and for the same cause as that alleged in the former action
which was terminated by judgment of nonsuit, affirmed on appeal. But it was contended that new and additional evidence had
been offered in the present action which had not been offered in the former action, particularly as tending to repel the inference
of contributoy negligence on the part of the plaintiff, and that this action was not being prosecuted upon substantially the
same evidence as that appearing of record in the previous action. Hampton v. Spinning Co., 198 N.C. 235, 151 S.E. 266.
