If it be conceded that the defendants’ plea in abatement should have been sustained (Brown v. Polk, 201 N. C., 375, 160 S. E., 357), still the correct result has been reached in another way, and the judgment will not be disturbed. Bank v. McCullers, 201 N. C., 440; Rankin v. Oates, 183 N. C., 517, 112 S. E., 32. “A new trial will not he granted when the action of the trial judge, even if erroneous, could by no possibility injure the appellant.” Butts v. Screws, 95 N. C., 215.

This disposition of the matter renders it unnecessary to consider defendants’ appeal.

Affirmed.
