1Opinion of the Court
PeR CüRiam.
The evidence, though conflicting, was amply sufficient to support the finding that the defendant Stafford was a resident of Guilford County at the time the action was instituted. An action such as this may be brought in the county where the plaintiffs or the defendants, or any one of them, had residence at the time summons was issued. G.S. 1-82. Removal for convenience is discretionary.
Affirmed.
