¶7Before WAEEACE, TOWNSEND, and COXE, Circuit Judges.

¶8PER CURIAM.

¶9This case depends upon a question of fact, which has been decided adversely to the appellant by the referee, and by the district judge in review of the referee. This court should not disturb these findings, unless they are manifestly unsupported by the evidence. So far from this being so, we are of the opinion that the evidence abundantly supports them.

¶10Order affirmed, with costs.
