¶1delivered the opinion of the court. We cannot hold that there was error in suppressing the depositions. If it were an original proposition, we might or might not do so, but we feel bound by the cases of Duncan v. Gerdine, 59 Miss., 550, and Wetherbee v. Root, 72 Miss., 355. We cannot reverse the chancellor on the facts.
¶2Affirmed.
