Tbis is an appeal by tbe defendant, B. & D. Coach Line, Inc., from a refusal to set aside a judgment awarding plaintiff damages for personal injuries sustained while a passenger in one of the defendant’s busses, on 8 November, 1926. The judge found that the defendant had a meritorious defense, hut that it had shown no “mistake, inadvertence, surprise or excusable neglect” in allowing judgment to be taken in the action. C. S., 600.

Upon the facts found by the trial court and embodied in the judgment, we see no valid reason for disturbing his ruling on the motion. Cahoon v. Brinkley, 176 N. C., 5, 96 S. E., 650. It would serve no useful purpose to set out the judgment in full.

Affirmed.
