Frances G. Borcherling, by National State Bank of Newark, New Jersey, guardian, complainant-respondent, v. Julia W. Downs, defendant-appellant.
    [Argued October 23d, 1942.
    Decided January 22d, 1943.]
    
      Emma E. Dillon, for the appellant.
    
      Messrs. Lum, Fairlie & Wachenfeld, for the respondent.
   Per Curiam.

Appellant seeks to have set aside an order dismissing her petition to open and set aside a consent final decree entered on December 5th, 1938.

A careful review of the proofs leads to the conclusion that they do not support appellant’s claim of fraud or duress in the entry of the final decree and fail to support the claim that there was an abuse of discretion in the action of the Vice-Chancellor in advising that the petition to open and set aside said decree be dismissed.

The order under review is affirmed.

For affirmance — The Chief-Justice, Parker, Case, Bodine, Donges, Heher, Perskie, Porter, Colie, Dear, Wells, Rafferty, Hague, Thompson, JJ. 14.

For reversal — None.
