An examination of the instant record leaves us with the impression that the case has been tried in substantial conformity to our decisions. Upon the controverted issues of fact, the jury have answered in favor of the defendant; and we have found no material error which would warrant us in disturbing the result.

The appeal raises no new question of law and we conclude that the trial below must be upheld.
