¶1 The assignments of error purport to be supported by exceptions which appear nowhere in the record except in the purported assignments of error. Such exceptions are ineffective and will not be considered on appeal. Holden v. Holden, 245 N.C. 1, 95 S.E. 2d 118. Even so, in the absence of any exceptions, or when exceptions have not been preserved in accordance with the requirements of our Rules, the appeal will be taken as an exception to the judgment.

Logan v. Sprinkle, 256 N.C. 41, 123 S.E. 2d 209.
