Upon tbe call of tbe docket from tbe Sixth District, tbe district to wbicb this case belongs, on 25 September, 1928, plaintiff *106lodged a motion to dismiss the appeal, for that, no carbon typewritten copy of appellant’s brief was mailed or delivered to appellee’s counsel as required by Rule 28 of the Rules of Practice in the Supreme Court. 192 N. C., p. 853. It appears, however, that the manuscript record and appellant’s brief were .received in the clerk’s office 11 July, 1928, and mimeographed copies were available two or three days thereafter. No application was made to the clerk by appellee’s counsel for copy of appellant’s brief. It is not the duty of the clerk to see that copy of appellant’s brief is furnished to appellee’s counsel, except upon request duly made therefor. The motion to dismiss the appeal, therefore, must be denied.
This action was instituted in the Superior Court of Lenoir County 1 June, 1928, and, on the same day, the judge presiding over the Superior Court of Pitt County issued a temporary restraining order in the cause,- returnable before himself at Beaufort in Carteret County fourteen days thereafter. The defendant objected to the matter being heard in Carteret County, especially as the Superior Court of Lenoir County was then in session, the same having convened 11 June for a two weeks term. We think the defendant’s objection to the matter being heard out of the district was well taken, and that the judge was without authority to enter the order appealed from in Carteret County. S. v. Crowder, 195 N. C., 335, 142 S. E., 222.
The decisions are all to the effect that a judge of the Superior Court may not, even in his own district, except by consent, or when authorized by statute, hear and determine an adversary proceeding, or enter an order therein, other than interlocutory, substantially affecting the rights of the parties, outside the county in which the action is pending. Bisanar v. Suttlemyre, 193 N. C., 711, 138 S. E., 1; Gaster v. Thomas, 188 N. C., 346, 124 S. E., 609.
