8005.
    Terry v. City of Greensboro.
   Luke, J.

1. Motions for continuance are left to the sound discretion of the court; and where in a recorder’s court, on the call of the case of ' one charged with the violation of a municipal ordinance, the defendant made a motion for a continuance, on the ground that he had been recently arrested, and the court then offered to procure the attendance of any witnesses he might need, and he replied that he had no special witnesses that he could name, the refusal of the court to continue the case was not an abuse of discretion.
