    Appeal and Error — Exceptions—Rule 27 — Procedure.

    Appeal by plaintiff from E. B. J ones, J., at September Term, 1909, of.Forsyth.
    
      J. S. Grogan for plaintiff.
    
      Lindsay Patterson for defendant.
   Per Curiam.

There are no assignments of error in the record, as required by Eule 27 of this Court. The appellant moves*to affirm the judgment on that ground, and the motion must be allowed, there being no errors apparent on the face of the record proper. At the last term, in Smith v. Manufacturing Company, 151 N. C., 261, Walker, J., said: “We must insist upon a strict - compliance with the rule, which requires an assignment of errors relied on in this Court.” Then, after giving the reason for-the rule, he adds that without such assignments of error the Court would not enter upon a consideration of the case on its merits, but would examine the record proper only, and if no errors appeared thereon would affirm the judgment, as the Court had heretofore done, citing Davis v. Wall, 142 N. C., 450; Marable v. R. R., 142 N. C., 564; Lee v. Baird, 146 N. C., 361; Thompson v. R. R., 147 N. C., 412; Ullery v. Guthrie, 148 N. C., 417. The judgment is therefore

Affirmed.
