Opinion:
The Court :
The only issue presented by the answer of the defendant, the San Bernardino Gas Light Company, was as to the filing by plaintiff of his claim. The findings of the Court below are full as to the filing of the claim. There is no merit in the appeal; it was evidently taken for delay. The judgment is affirmed, with twenty-five per cent, damages.
