1Opinion of the Court

Walkeb, J.,

after stating the case: The record shows that the suit of Emry v. Chappell was commenced on 6 May, 1908, that being the day on which the summons was delivered by the Clerk to the Sheriff, as appears by the latter’s endorsement on the process. Smith v. Lumber Co., 142 N. C., 26; Webster v. Sharpe, 116 N. C., 466. The order of reference in Lyon & Montague v. Emry & Chappell was made, with the consent of the parties, on 27 April, 1908. We refer to this matter, as it was contended by the plaintiff’s counsel that this action was commenced before the reference was ordered.
