The motion of the Attorney-General to dismiss the appeal ‍‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‍for the reason that no appeal lies to this Court from a discretionary determination of an application for a ‍‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‍new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence must be allowed on authority of S. v. Ferrell, 206 N. C., 738, 175 ‍‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‍S. E., 91, and Jarrett v. Ins. Co., 208 N. C., 343.

The case is not like Crane v. Carswell, 204 N. C., 571, 169 ‍‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‍S. E., 160, where the “newly discovered evidence,” as this phrase is defined in the law, was insufficient to ‍‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‍invoke a discretionary ruling in favor of the movant.

Appeal dismissed.
