State v. Ruffin, 3 N.C. App. 307, 164 S.E. 2d 503, citing 1 Strong, N.C. Index 2d, Appeal and Error, \u00a7 26, p. 152.\nWe have carefully reviewed the record before us' and find that the defendant was charged upon a valid bill of indictment, entered a plea of guilty to a lesser offense encompassed in said bill of indicN ment, and was given a sentence which was within statutory limits.
