¶1 Perhaps the case would be controlled by the decision in S. v. Hiatt (1937), 211 N.C. 116, 189 S.E. 124, where an attempted appeal from a similar verdict was dismissed, but for the 1947 amendment to the statute which specifically allows an appeal “from a finding of the issue of paternity against the defendant.” Chap. 1014, Session Laws 1947; G-.S. 49-7. This amendment seems not to have been called to the judge’s attention. Error is confessed.
¶2 Reversed.
