Supreme Court of North Carolina June 5, 1870 (State Ex Rel. White v. Robinson)

Dior, J.

The rules of law laid down in the oases of

Cummings v. Mebane,

63 N. C. 315, and

Shipp

v.

Hettrick, Ib.

329, govern this case. In the administration of justice, this Court feels constrained to take judicial notice of the anomalous condition of things which existed during the late war and the transition period which preceded the adoption of our present State government.
