1. “"The question for our decision is whether the trial court erred in sustaining the defendant's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict.

The test for determining whether such motion should be sustained is the same as that applied where there is a motion for a directed verdict or peremptory instruction." 216 So.2d at 423 .”
