The only exceptions noted at the trial and brought forward in the assignments of error relate to the judge's charge to the jury. The portions excepted to contained statements of the contentions of the parties and the evidence supporting. If there were any inadvertence on the part of the judge in these recitals, his attention should have been called to it at the time so that correction, if deemed important, might have been made. S. v. Sinodis, 189 N.C. 565; S. v. Barnhill, 186 N.C. 446. The controversy presented issues of fact which have been resolved against the defendant.
