In a proceeding in which a judge of the superior court has adjudged a party guilty of contempt for disobedience of the court’s order and the contempt was not committed in the immediate presence of the court, an appeal lies from the judgment entered. However, in such a proceeding, the findings of fact by the judge are conclusive and not reviewable on appeal, if supported by any competent evidence. Cotton Mill Co. v. Textile Workers Union, 234 N.C. 545, 67 S.E. 2d 755; Bank v. Chamblee, 188 N.C. 417, 124 S.E. 741; In re Fountain, 182 N.C. 49, 108 S.E. 342, 18 A.L.R. 208; Flack v. Flack, 180 N.C. 594, 105 S.E. 268; In re T. J. Parker, 177 N.C. 463, 99 S.E. 342; Green v. Green, 130 N.C. 578, 41 S.E. 784; Young v. Rollins, 90 N.C. 125.
We have carefully examined the record in this cause, and the findings of the court below are supported by competent evidence and such findings support the judgment.
Furthermore, the punishment imposed does not exceed that provided by law. G.S. 5-4. Hence, the judgment is affirmed. Erwin Mills v. Textile Workers Union, 235 N.C. 107, 68 S.E. 2d 813; Cotton Mill Co. v. Textile Workers Union, supra; Cotton Mills v. Abrams, 231 N.C. 431, 57 S.E. 2d 803; Manufacturing Co. v. Arnold, 228 N.C. 375, 45 S.E. 2d 577, and cited cases.
Affirmed.
