Description
The negligence sufficiently pleaded in the complaint is to the effect that the defendant ""knew or should have known . . . that said roof was leaking and in bad repair . . ."" There is not a suggestion in the evidence that the roof was leaking and in bad repair. It was incumbent upon the plaintiff not only to prove negligence proximately causing her injury, but it was her duty to prove negligence susbstantially as alleged in her complaint. This she failed to do. Proof without allegation is as unavailing as allegation without proof. Smith v. Barnes, 236 N.C. 176, 72 S.E.2d 216; Bowen v. Darden, 233 N.C. 443, 64 S.E.2d 285.
