Opinion
(Filed 14 September, 1927.)
APPEAL by defendant, F. J. McGuire, from Barnhill, J., at March Term, 1927, of EDGECOMBE.
John L. Bridgers and Henry C. Bourne for plaintiff.
Whedbee Whedbee for defendant, F. J. McGuire, appellant.
Motion filed 18 October, 1926, by F. J. McGuire to set aside a judgment rendered on a verdict at the March Term, 1926, Edgecombe Superior Court. Motion denied 14 March, 1927. Movant appeals.
This is an appeal from a refusal to set aside a judgment on the ground of "mistake, inadvertence, surprise or excusable neglect." C. S., 600.
The judge, upon competent evidence, found facts from which he concluded, first, that the movant had failed to show any excusable neglect; and, second, that no meritorious defense had been made to appear. There is nothing on the record to warrant a reversal of the judgment. Taylor v. Gentry, 192 N.C. 503; Cahoon v. Brinkley, 176 N.C. 5; Norton v. McLaurin, 125 N.C. 185.
Affirmed.
