““Where an ^actual partition of lands has been ordered, whether the división made by the commissioners was fair and equitable or unequal in value is a question of fact to be determined by the Judge of the Superior Court upon an appeal from a judgment of the clerk affirming the report of the commissioners. Byrd v. Thompson, 243 N.C. 271 , 90 S.E. 2d 394 . The findings of the judge are conclusive and binding if there is any evidence in the record to support them. McMillan v. McMillan, 123 N.C. 577 , 31 S.E. 729 .” West v. West, 257 N.C. 760, 762 , 127 S.E. 2d 531 (1962).”
