Opinion:
Per Curiam,
There is no merit in this appeal. The master carefully discharged his duty and submitted a report in which the law and the facts are very carefully considered and disposed of properly. The exceptions filed to his report were overruled and the libel dismissed by the court below.
The decree is affirmed, at the cost of the appellant.
