The record shows that the cause came on for hearing before Sharp, S. J., assigned to hold the aforesaid Civil Term of the Superior Court, who, after reciting the procedural history of the action, finds “that on December 9, 1959, the defendants filed a motion in writing that the ‘cause of action for the recovery of the automobile and all other personal property described in the complaint, except the property described in paragraph 32 of the plaintiff’s amended complaint, be moved to Wake County for trial.’ ” It is there, that is, in paragraph 32, described as certain specific household and kitchen furniture owned by plaintiff of the approximate value of five thousand dollars, and located in her three houses in High Point.

And the record recites that after reading the pleadings and other papers filed in this case and hearing argument of counsel the court being of the opinion that the motion to remove as a matter of right should be denied, “ordered, adjudged and decreed that the motion to remove be and the same is hereby denied.”

Defendants except thereto and appeal therefrom to Supreme Court and assign error.

Affirmed.
