Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Several serious exceptions are entered on tbe record, but a careful perusal of tbe whole case confirms us in tbe belief that no violence has been done to any legal principle in tbe trial of tbe cause. Hence tbe judgment will be upheld. Tbe appeal presents no new or novel point of law which would seem to warrant an extended discussion, or which we apprehend would be helpful or beneficial to tbe profession. We have discovered no legal or reversible error on tbe part of tbe trial court.
No error.
