Description

The Denver Equipment Company instituted this action against Beatrice v. Newell to recover for damages to its automobile which resulted from a collision with the automobile of defendant at a Denver street intersection. Defendant filed a counterclaim, seeking a judgment for damages to her automobile growing out of the same accident. At the conclusion of the evidence a motion by plaintiff for "nonsuit of the counterclaim of defendant," was granted. Each party then moved for a directed verdict, whereupon the court instructed the jury to return a verdict in favor of the defendant, upon which judgment was duly entered. Plaintiff, seeking a reversal of the judgment, has brought the case here by writ of error. Defendant has filed no cross specification covering the courts action in granting the nonsuit of her counterclaim.
