BARNHILL, Justice.
How this cause reached this Court is of little moment. The record discloses the patent invalidity of the judgment pronounced which works a substantial injustice to the petitioner. It is our duty to take cognizance thereof and correct it, either in the exercise of our appellate or our supervisory jurisdiction, depending on how the case is presented. State v. Shipman, 203 N.C. 325, 166 S.E. 298; State v. Cochran, 230 N.C. 523, 53 S.E.2d 663.
