 Dependency is thus in each case a. fact to be determined.s Main Collierys Go. (Ltd.J v. Davies, 16 T. R. 460.
 The record does not disclose that the Commissioner applied a standard of dependency other than that re- quired and contemplated by the Act.
 We cannot review conclusions of fact made by a Commissioner which merely concern the weight of evidence and the credibi1ity of witnesses. And rulings of this character are the only ones involved in the decision of the partial dependency of shfs claimant.
 If the commissioneR had found facts which might materially have infiu- enced his decision, without evidence. or the subordinate facts found neither legally nor logically supported the u1ti- mate fact, or the Commissioner had refused to consider facts which would. have been relevant to his decision and which the record did not show had not affected the decision, he would have committed an error of law and his ruling or decision been review able. Such is not this case.
 Gray's Appeal, 80 Conn. PAS, 251:
 Brown V. Clark, 80 Conn. 419, 423.
 The third question upon the appeal is whether the Comnisstoner erred in making an award of five dollars a week in a case in which the depend encys did not approximate that sum.
 This claim is rested upon the pro-. positions that the contributions to es-s tablish condition of dependency must have been necessary to the sl1stenance of the dependent, and must have been substantial, which in this sense is said to mean an approximation to the minimum amount set in the statute.
 We have already held that partial dependency may exist although the alleged dependent could have subsist- ed without the contributions of the deceased.
 There is nothing in the Act from which it must be inferred that the constitutions must approximate the minimum amount set by the Act.
 Section 9 of the Act provides that, the compensation payable on account of death resulting from injuries shall in no case be moro than ten dollars or less than five dollars weekly
 The General Assembly has thus in explicit terms made the minimum weekly payment on account of death from injuries five dollars. Consfdera- lions of public policy dictated the adoption of this minimum; its wisdom is not our concern. A minimum might be adopted which would plainly vioz late constitutionaI rights of property that ob1ection has not been and can not be made to this provision. There is no error.
