MOORE, FLAY CANIPE, J. T. MOORE, BRYANT TEAL, and EUGENE BRASWELL, Members of the Board of Commissioners of the Town of McFARLAN, Respondents.\n(Filed 5 May, 1948.)\n1. Appeal and Error \u00a7 10a\u2014\nWhere it does not appear of record that purported case on appeal was served on appellees, or that it was settled by agreement or otherwise, exceptions based on alleged errors occurring during the progress of the trial in which oral testimony was offered, are not presented for review.\n2. Appeal and Error \u00a7 40a\u2014\nWhere the sole exception properly presented is to the judgment, and the judgment is supported by the findings of fact, the exception must fail.\nAppeal by petitioners from Rousseau, J., at September Term, 1947, of Anson.\nThis was a hearing before his Honor on the return of respondents to a writ of certiorari, issued by Pittman, J., on 9 August, 1947, requiring the respondents to certify to the Superior Court of Anson County, N. C., a transcript of the proceedings in which the Mayor and Board of Commissioners of the Town of McFarlan revoked the beer and wine licenses of each of the petitioners, on 17 July, 1947.\nThe petitioners challenged the correctness of the certified transcript on the ground that it was incomplete and erroneous. However, they did not lodge a motion for a new writ in order that a complete and accurate transcript of the proceedings before the Mayor and Board of Commissioners of the Town of McFarlan might be obtained. Instead, it appears that the trial Judge permitted them to supplement the certified transcript by oral testimony.\nWhereupon, at the close of the hearing, the Court found the following facts: \u201cThat the record as certified by the Secretary to the Board of Commissioners of the Town of McFarlan, North Carolina, shows that the said Board had ample authority and evidence for the revocation of the beer and wine licenses issued to each of the petitioners and that each of the petitioners has violated the provisions of Section 514 of the Beverage Control Act; and the Court further finds that said writ of certiorari should be dismissed,\u201d and entered judgment accordingly.\nPetitioners appealed to the Supreme Court, and were allowed sixty days in which to make up and serve case on appeal, and the respondents were allowed forty days thereafter to serve countercase or exceptions.\nA. Paul Kitchen and George S. Steele, Jr., for petitioners.\nBarrington T. Hill for respondents."
