171 S.E. 367 | N.C. | 1933
This action was heard by the judge of the Superior Court on defendant's appeal from the order of the clerk, denying defendant's motion that the judgment by default final in the action be set aside for that the neglect of the defendant to file an answer to the complaint was excusable. On the facts found by the judge, and set out in the judgment, the order was affirmed, and the defendant appealed to the Supreme Court.
The findings of fact set out in the judgment are supported by the evidence offered at the hearing before the judge of the Superior Court. They are, therefore, conclusive, and not reviewable by this Court. Crye v.Stoltz,
