The opinion of the Supreme Court states the case.
December 31, 1920:
The court made absolute the rule to open the judgment. Plaintiff appealed.
Error assigned was above order, quoting record.
J. Norman Martin, of Martin tG Martin, with him M. J. Kraus and Cunningham cG Graham, for appellant.
Robert K. Aiken, with him J. W. Humphrey and T. W. Dickey, for appellees, were not heard.

Opinion:
Per Curiam,
The judgment which the court below opened was entered on a warrant in a lease authorizing the entry of judgment against the lessee for breach of his covenants. The appellant, the lessor, entered the judgment for an alleged breach of a covenant, but the court found as a fact that there had been no breach. This finding has not been assigned as error, and, being therefore conclusive, the appeal must be dismissed.
Appeal dismissed at appellant's costs.
