1. ““On a review of an order denying a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, this court is limited to a consideration of the evidence. If the record is such that there was some issue of fact to submit to the jury, and tire jury rendered a verdict thereon, then it is clear the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict should be denied. “It is not necessary to review the decisions of this court setting forth the principle involved. Such motion will not be granted where there is an issue for the jury to pass upon under the evidence, as it does not go to the weight of the evidence. In passing upon such matter, the evidence is considered in the light most favorable to the party against whom the motion is made. State [ex rel. Brazerol] v. Yellow Cab Co., 62 N.D. 733, 736 , 245 N.W. 382, 383 .””
