Per Curiam,

The findings of fact made by the learned ‍​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‍judge sitting as a chancellor in this case fully justify the decree appealed from. These findings are not ‍​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‍absolutely conclusive upon us, but until error in them is clearly shown, they should be allowed to stand. ‍​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‍We have examined the evidence with a view to satisfy ourselves whether these findings can be fairly ‍​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‍made from it, and we are not persuaded that any one of them should be overturned. The decree ‍​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‍is affirmed. Costs to be paid by the appellant.
