ct ais, appellants, in regard to the
guardianship of John L. Farnham,

Appeal from decree of probate
court holding that guardianship of
said Farnham is no longer necessary.
Held:
/. That presumptive heirs Of the
ward are so, interested in his estate
that they have the right to claim an
appeal from n decree affecting it.
g Upon hearing in the supreme
court of probate before a single JUS
tice, without jury, if there be found
any evidence upon which the ruling
and finding can be based. the suff1-
cheney of such evidence is q question
of fact upon which the finding Of the
justice is conclusive and Is not to be
reviewed by the Law Court.
3. Whether a medical witness Is
qualified to testify on the ground that
he is an attending physician is a
question of fact for the presiding jus
tice and his decision of such a q,ies-
ton is final. although in extreme
cases, where n serious mistake has
been committed. through some acei-
dent. inadvertance. or misconception,
his action may be reviewed
