1Opinion of the Court
DALLAS, Circuit Judge.
Notwithstanding the thorough and very able argument submitted on behalf of the appellant, we are fully satisfied with the action of the court below, and with the reasoning by which it was supported. The remarks of appellant’s counsel in criticism of the opinion of the learned judge have had our attentive consideration, but have failed to convince us that it does not sufficiently maintain his conclusion. Therefore, the decree of the circuit court is, upon the opinion there filed, affirmed.
