        "text": "Sea well, J.\nTbe defendant was brought before the court on a bill of indictment charging him with receiving sixty cartons of Chesterfield cigarettes of the value of seventy-five dollars, knowing them to have been stolen. When the case came on for trial, he entered a plea of nolo contendere. Thereupon, the court entered judgment that he be imprisoned in the State\u2019s Prison at hard labor for not less than three years nor more than five years. Prom this judgment the defendant appealed.\nThe appellant contends that the term of imprisonment imposed upon him is excessive punishment for the offense charged, and constitutes reversible error. At the same time the brief concedes, and correctly so, that the sentence is within the stated limits of the law. G. S., 14-1, G. S., 14-2, G. S., 14-3, G. S., 14-71; S. v. Reddick, 222 N. C., 520, 23 S. E. (2d), 909; S. v. Harwood, 206 N. C., 87, 173 S. E., 24; S. v. Ritter, 199 N. C., 116, 120, 164 S. E., 62; S. v. Brite, 73 N. C., 26. The exercise of the court\u2019s discretion, within the limitations of applicable statutes respecting punishment, will not be disturbed when objection is predicated solely on the ground of excessive punishment. S. v. Levy, 220 N. C., 812, 18 S. E. (2d), 355; S. v. Calcutt, 219 N. C., 545, 569, 15 S. E. (2d), 9; S. v. Brackett, 218 N. C., 369, 11 S. E. (2d), 146; S. v. Harris, 204 N.
