Opinion
James S. Rogers, Appellant, v. William Laytin et al., Respondents.
(Argued January 28, 1880;
decided February 24, 1880.)
Very many questions were presented in this case, both as to the findings of the referee and his rulings in the reception of evidence. The court held, that the evidence was sufficient to justify the findings, and so they could not be interfered with. The questions as to evidence were also disposed of in view of the peculiar circumstances of the case.
C. J. G. Hall for appellant.
Theo. F. Jaclcson for respondent.
