Stacy, C. J.

¶1 The deceased was a taxi-driver. On the night of 26 October, 1946, he was engaged by the defendant to drive him from North Wilkesboro to Miller’s Creek, a distance of about fifteen miles. While on this trip, the defendant slew the deceased, took his car and drove it to Portsmouth, Ohio, where he was apprehended. The defendant, in a signed confession, admitted that he shot the deceased and took his automobile. He interposed the defense of mental irresponsibility. The jury has resolved this against him.

¶2 A careful perusal of the record fails to disclose any valid exceptive assignment of error. The verdict and judgment will be upheld.

¶3 No error.
