    3. In awarding to the certificate holders, who had received in sick benefits an amount less than the dividend awarded, a dividend on the balance of the amount paid in by them. [3]

      February 3, 1896:
   Per Curiam,

This case was argued with Bordley et al.’s Appeal from same decree. For reasons briefly given in an opinion just filed, in that case, at No. 137, July term, 1895 (ante, p. 464), we think there is nothing in the record that would justify us in disturbing the decree; nor does it appear to us that either of the specifications of error requires further notice.

Decree affirmed and appeal dismissed with costs to be paid by the appellants.
