port whet owns should be allowed to Mr. Waters

log the money late Cove. The present was an ap-
peal from that jodginmit, and he, ors behalf of Mr.
Taylor, Mated that the jodgment should be coofirm-

appeal. On • former occasion lbo Court had de.
eared that it saw no reason for Oro order of the
Vice-Chancellor being altered in any way.
