235 N.C. 554 | N.C. | 1952
The affidavit, summons, and pleadings of the plaintiff are not set forth in the transcript of the record, docketed in this Court, as required by Rule 19, sec. 1, of our Rules of Practice, 221 N.C. at page 553. The pleadings are an essential part of the record in order that we may be advised as to the nature of the action or proceeding. Insurance Co. v. Bullard, 207 N.C. 652, 178 S.E. 113.
Moreover, in a summary proceeding in ejectment the “oath in writing,” required by G.S. 42-28, must allege certain essential facts in order to confer jurisdiction. Howell v. Branson, 226 N.C. 264, 37 S.E. 2d 687. Therefore, the omission of these essential parts of the transcript, as required by our Rules, is fatal to the appeal. Ericson v. Ericson, 226 N.C. 474, 38 S.E. 2d 517; Washington County v. Land Co., 222 N.C. 637, 24 S.E. 2d 338; Bank v. McCullers, 211 N.C. 327, 190 S.E. 217; Insurance Co. v. Bullard, supra; S. v. Lumber Co., 207 N.C. 47, 175 S.E. 713; Waters v. Waters, 199 N.C. 667, 155 S.E. 564; Plott v. Construction Co.,
Appeal dismissed.
