Sams' Estate, In re
Citation | 236 N.C. 228,72 S.E.2d 421 |
Decision Date | 24 September 1952 |
Docket Number | No. 114,114 |
Parties | In re SAMS' ESTATE. |
Court | United States State Supreme Court of North Carolina |
Clyde Roberts, Marshall, and Guy Weaver, Asheville, for Lee Sams, Administrator, appellant.
J. M. Baley, Jr., Marshall, for appellees.
The exceptive assignment to the findings of fact is broadside. Weaver v. Morgan, 232 N.C. 642, 61 S.E.2d 916; Thompson v. Thompson, 235 N.C. 416, 70 S.E.2d 495. It is insufficient to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to support the findings or any one of them. Town of Burnsville v. Boone, 231 N.C. 577, 58 S.E.2d 351; Wilson v. Robinson, 224 N.C. 851, 32 S.E.2d 601; McIntosh, N. C. P. & P., Sec. 517. In this state of the record, the presumption is there was sufficient evidence to support the findings. Vestal v. Moseley Vending Machine Exchange, 219 N.C. 468, 14 S.E.2d 427.
The general exception to the order of the Clerk carried up for review before the Judge of the Superior Court only the question whether the facts found by the Clerk support the order. And in turn the general exception to the judgment signed by the Judge brings here for review the the single question whether the facts found support the judgment. Wilson v. Robinson, supra; Thompson v. Thompson, supra. It is manifest that both the order of the Clerk and the judgment of the Judge are supported by the facts found. G.S. §§ 28-32, 28-8 subd. 2; 21 Am.Jur., Executors and Administrators, Sec. 158; In re Battle's Estate, 158 N.C. 388, 74 S.E.23.
