Hence the issues as raised by the pleadings are those raised by the further answer and counterclaim. Plaintiff failed to tender the issues thus raised and to demand jury trial thereon. Booker v. Highlands, 198 N. C., 282, 151 S. E., 635; Brown v. Clement Co., 217 N. C., 47, 6 S. E. (2d), 842. Hence trial by jury was waived.\nThe court below found that the evidence sustained the findings made by the referee, adopted them as its own, and rendered judgment for defendants on their counterclaim in the amount found to be due. A careful examination of the record fails to disclose error therein.\nAffirmed.",
