Apeal and Ekbob (§ 1098 )—Review—Findings of Trial Court—Conclusiveness.
In an action for the price of a certain encyclopedia, the trial court found that it was represented as a work of greater scope than it really was, and as the hooks themselves were in evidence before him, but were not before the appellate court, the finding will not .be disturbed.

Opinion:
GIEGERICH, J.
The trial justice found, after examining the books, that they were an encyclopedia of biography and very little else. There was evidence amply sufficient to justify his further con •elusion that the books were represented to the defendant as a work of much wider scope. " I do not think that his determination in favor of the defendant ought to be disturbed, especially since the books, which were apparently a very material part of the evidence before the trial court, are not before this court.
The judgment should therefore be affirmed, with costs.
GAVEGAN, J., concurs.
