Per Curiam,
The principal exceptions filed to the auditor’s report were included in and constituted thirteen assignments of error which related exclusively to findings of fact. The findings aforesaid were carefully considered and duly approved by. the court. There was some conflict in the evidence respecting the questions of fact involved, but it was the province of the auditor to determine from it what the facts were. In the ascertainment of the facts he was materially assisted by the testimony of the witnesses who appeared for the respective parties and testified in their behalf. As he had the witnesses before him with full opportunity to examine them in relation to all matters in controversy, he was well qualified to reach a proper conclusion respecting such matters. We have not been able to discover in the evidence, the auditor’s report, or the opinion of the court below, any cause for setting aside or modifying the report. We therefore dismiss all the assignments. Decree affirmed and appeal dismissed at the cost of the appellant.
