There was ample evidence at the trial of this action to sustain the charge made in the indictment that on 4 April, 1936, the defendant did drive an automobile on a public highway in Jones County, while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, in violation of the statute, N. C. Code of 1935, section 2621 (44).
There was no error in the admission of evidence tending to corroborate the testimony of witnesses for the State. Statements made by these witnesses at the coroner’s inquest were competent as evidence tending to corroborate the testimony of the witnesses at the trial. See S. v. Exum, 138 N. C., 599, 50 S. E., 283.
The verdict appearing in the record, although on its face not sufficient to support the judgment, interpreted in the light of all the evidence, and of admissions made in the case on appeal, was sufficient for that purpose. See S. v. Whitley, 208 N. C., 661, 182 S. E., 338.
The judgment is affirmed.
No error.
