¶12PER CURIAM.

¶13There are a number of assignments of error. In' terms, some of them raise questions of law. An examination of the record, however, shows that such questions are not material, if the conclusions of the court below as to the facts are correct. The referee had the witnesses before him. The conclusion he reached was confirmed by the learned judge of the court below. The record does not persuade us that they were mistaken.

¶14Affirmed.
