Jones, 232 N.C. 518, 61 S.E. 2d 335.\nAt tbe February Term, 1952, Burg'wyn, Special Judge, entered an order directing that a writ of possession issue. Feme defendant excepted. Tbe exception is without merit. Feme defendant\u2019s inchoate right of dower, if not barred by tbe judgments heretofore entered, does not deprive tbe purchasers of tbe present right of possession.\nOn 17 May 1952, Morris, J., denied defendants\u2019 motion to be permitted to supplement tbe testimony at tbe prior bearing by filing additional documentary evidence \u201cfor further consideration.\u201d No appeal lies from said order. Indeed, tbe judge was without authority to augment tbe evidence at that stage of tbe proceedings.\nTbe defendants have bad their day in court. They were accorded a full opportunity to be beard before tbe order of foreclosure was entered. Their present unfortunate predicament is due to their own negligence from which tbe Court can afford them no relief.\nAppeal dismissed.\nParker, J., took no part in tbe consideration or decision of tbis ease.",
