GREENVILLE BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY v. T. H. NICHOLS and G. V. SMITH.
    (Filed 14 March, 1928.)
    Appeal by defendant, G. Y. Smith, from Lyon, Special Judge, at November Term, 1927, of Pitt.
    Motion to set aside judgment rendered by a justice of the peace on a promissory note for $50, executed by T. H. Nichols and endorsed by G. Y. Smith, on the ground that no copy of the summons was left with the appealing defendant. Motion overruled, and the defendant, G. V. Smith, appeals.
    
      W. A. Darden for plaintiff.
    
    
      J. Con Lanier for defendant, G. V. Smith.
    
   Per Curiam.

The defendant appeals, relying on Pass v. Elias, 192 N. C., 497; 135 S. E., 291. But the defect in the service of summons was cured by a general appearance. Motor Co. v. Reaves, 184 N. C., 260, 114 S. E., 175; Wooten v. Cunningham, 171 N. C., 123, 88 S. E., 1; Currie v. Mining Co., 157 N. C., 209, 72 S. E., 980; Scott v. Life Asso., 137 N. C., 515, 50 S. E., 221.

Affirmed.
