   Dykman, J. :

This is an appeal from a judgment entered upon the decision of a judge after a trial before him without a jury.

No case has been made, and the record contains no evidence except ■some exhibits.

We can base our examination upon nothing but the findings of the judge, which we must assume are supported and justified by evidence, and upon that assumption they are sufficient to sustain the judgment.

The judgment should be affirmed, with costs.

BrOwn, P. J., and Pratt, J., concurred.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
