On the trial the issue submitted by consent of the parties related to the location of a boundary line upon which the case turned. There was no exception to the .Judge’s charge to the jury and no instruction was asked for in writing, but during the argument the plaintiff’s counsel made a verbal request for an instruction, which was not given. The case on appeal does not set out any exception. There was ver-
Mr. M. E. Thornton, for plaintiffs (appellants).
Mr. E. B. Cline, for defendants.

Opinion:
Clark, J.:
The appellants asked the Court verbally for an instruction to the jury. The failure to grant a prayer for instruction not asked in writing is not ground for exception. The Code, §415. Besides, if the prayer had been asked in writing, though the failure to give it is deemed excepted to, the exception would have been waived, as it is not set out in the case on appeal, and we could not pass upon it. Taylor v. Plumber, 105 N. C., 56.
No exception of any-kind appears in the case on appeal, and no error appears upon an inspection of the record proper. The judgment below must be
Affirmed.
