¶1This was an action to recover damages for trespass and timber cutting, and to restrain the defendants.
¶2Based on the complaint, temporary restraining order was issued and made returnable before Judge Carr. On the return day the plaintiff offered deeds and affidavits tending to fit description in the deeds to cover the locus, and to show possession by those under whom he claims for more than 60 years.
¶3The defendants admitted cutting the timber but alleged title thereto in the defendant Johnson. Defendants offered no evidence but contended that plaintiff’s evidence was insufficient to identify the land or to fit the description in the deeds to the land as described in the complaint.
¶4From the evidence offered Judge Carr made findings of fact and concluded that there was probable cause that plaintiff would be able to establish the right asserted by him in his complaint and that continuance of cutting timber by defendants during the litigation would produce injury. G.S. 1-485. Lance v. Cogdill, 238 N.C. 500, 78 S.E. 2d 319. Accordingly the restraining order was continued to the final determination of the action.
¶5There was evidence to support the findings of the judge and his conclusion after considering the evidence that the restraining order should be continued will be upheld. As the final termination of the litigation must await the trial in term, we deem it unnecessary to discuss the evidence or the questions of law debated on the argument and by brief.
¶6Judgment affirmed.
