    (Filed 12 October, 1955.)
    Appeal by defendants from Bone, J., at May Term, 1955, of Craven.
    Civil action to remove alleged clouds from the title to real estate.
    The defendants demurred to the complaint for failure to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. From judgment overruling the demurrers, the defendants appeal.
    
      B. B. Hollowell, R. E. Whitehurst, W. B. R. Guión, R. A. Nunn, Barden, Stith & McCotter, and Ward & Tucker for Defendants, Appellants.
    
    
      Willcox, Hardee, Houck & Palmer, McClelland & Burney, and Jones, Reed & Griffin for Plaintiff, Appellee.
    
   Per Curiam.

The judgment overruling the demurrers will be upheld in this case on authority of what is said in the opinion filed simultaneously herewith in Lumber Co. v. Pamlico County, ante, 728, which is precisely decisive of the question raised by the instant appeal. Decision here will control the consolidated companion cases referred to in the stipulation appearing in the record.

Affirmed.

WiNBORNE, PARKER, and Higgins, JJ., took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
