It is well settled in this jurisdiction that a motion for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence is addressed to the discretion of the trial court and refusal to grant the motion is not reviewable in the absence of abuse of discretion. State v. Parker, 235 N.C. 302, 69 S.E. 2d 542 (1952), cert. denied, 344 U.S. 825, 97 L.Ed. 642, 73 S.Ct. 25 (1952) ; State v. Morrow, 264 N.C. 77, 140 S.E. 2d 767 (1965) ; State v. Lee, 22 N.C. App. 4, 205 S.E. 2d 360 (1974).
