State v. Ferrell

Opinion of the Court

Stacy, C. J.

We have held in a number of cases that no appeal lies to this Court from a discretionary determination of an application for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence. S. v. Edwards, 205 N. C., 661; S. v. Riddle and Huffman, 205 N. C., 591; S. v. Lea, 203 N. C., 316, 166 S. E., 292; S. v. Skipman, 203 N. C., 325, 166 S. E., 298; S. v. Davis, 203 N. C., 327, 166 S. E., 297; S. v. Rhodes, *739203 N. C., 329, 166 S. E., 299; S. v. Moore, 202 N. C., 841, 163 S. E., 700; S. v. Griffin, 202 N. C., 517, 163 S.E., 457; S. v. Cox, 202 N. C., 378, 162 S. E., 907; S. v. Lambert, 93 N. C., 618; Crane v. Carswell, 204 N. C., 571, 169 S. E., 160; Carson v. Dellinger, 90 N. C., 226; Holmes v. Godwin, 69 N. C., 467; Vest v. Cooper, 68 N. C., 131. Especially is this so in criminal cases where such applications are not originally entertained in the appellate court. S. v. Casey, 201 N. C., 620, 161 S. E., 81.

It also seems that the order allowing the movant, or petitioner, to appeal in forma pauperis was improvidently granted. Powell v. Moore, 204 N. C., 654, 169 S. E., 281.

Appeal dismissed.
