        "text": "BeocK, J.\nBy motion filed in this cause on 4 September 1969, plaintiffs concede error as follows: \u201cThe question presented in this appeal has been rendered moot by the opinion filed on 27 August 1969: If the order changing venue was improperly entered, of necessity the Pasquotank County Superior Court had no jurisdiction to try the case. The plaintiffs concede error on this appeal and will file no brief in opposition to a reversal of the judgment below.\u201d\nAn appeal from an appealable interlocutory order carries the interlocutory order and all questions incident to and necessarily involved therein to the appellate division. Keith v. Silvia, 236 N.C. 293, 72 S.E. 2d 686; Bailey v. McPherson, 233 N.C. 231, 63 S.E. 2d 559; Sinclair v. R. R., 228 N.C. 389, 45 S.E. 2d 555; Strong, N.C. Index 2d, Appeal and Error, \u00a7 16. And the appeal stays all further proceedings in the trial court upon the order appealed from, or upon the matters embraced therein. Bohannon v. Trust Company, 198 N.C. 702, 153 S.E. 263. The very question sought to be determined by the former appeal was the right of the Superior Court of Curri-tuck County to transfer this case to the Superior Court of Pasquo-tank County for trial; therefore, the Superior Court of Pasquotank County was without jurisdiction to try the case pending the appeal.\nSince the Superior Court of Pasquotank County was functus officio to try the case, it follows that the trial, the verdict and the judgment are nullities. The verdict rendered by the jury at the May 1969 Session of Pasquotank Superior Court is set aside and the judgment entered thereon is vacated.\nJudgment vacated.\nBRItt and Vaughn, JJ., concur.",

Appeal and Error \u00a7 16\u2014 lower court \u2014 jurisdiction pending appeal \u2014 interlocutory order\nAn appeal from an appealable interlocutory order carries tbe interlocutory order and all questions incident to and necessarily involved therein to the appellate division, and the appeal stays all further proceedings in the trial court upon the order appealed from, or upon the matters embraced therein.\n2. Appeal and Error \u00a7 16\u2014 appeal from interlocutory order \u2014 jurisdiction of lower court pending appeal\nWhere there was an appeal to the Court of Appeals from an order of the superior court of one county removing the case to the superior court of another county, the superior court of the latter county was functus officio to try the case pending appeal, and consequently the trial, the verdict, and the judgment of the latter court were nullities.\nAppeal by defendant from Parker (Joseph W.J, </., 12 May 1969 Session, PasquotaNK Superior Court.\nThis action was instituted on 7 April 1967 in Currituck County.\nOn 28 February 1969 plaintiffs filed a motion for a change of venue. The motion for change of venue was heard by Judge Parker on 20 March 1969, at which time he entered an order removing the case from Currituck County to Pasquotank County for trial. Additionally, the order of removal directed that the case be calendared for trial at the May 1969 Session of Pasquotank Superior Court. Defendant excepted to the order removing the case to Pasquotank County, and gave notice of appeal therefrom.\nThe appeal was properly perfected and by opinion of this Court filed on 27 August 1969 (Patrick v. Hurdle, 6 N.C. App. 51, 169 S.E. 2d 239), for the reasons stated therein, the order of removal was reversed. However, in the interim, the case was called for trial at the May 1969 Session of Pasquotank Superior Court. Defendant filed a plea in abatement upon the grounds of lack of jurisdiction in the Superior Court because the case was pending on appeal in the Court of Appeals. Judge Parker denied the plea in abatement and proceeded to trial of the case, judgment being entered therein on 13 May 1969. Defendant did not participate in the trial, relying upon his exception to the denial of his plea in abatement.\nVerdict and judgment were rendered for plaintiffs.\nDefendant appealed.\nLeroy, Wells, Shaw and Hornthal, hy Dewey W. Wells, for plaintiffs.\nJohn T. Chaffin and Gerald F. White for defendant."
