Opinion of the Court by

Chief Justice Tilford

Affirming.

The appellant by a petition for.a writ of habea's corpus sought the custody of two of the five infant children of her deceased brother on the ground that their mother with whom they reside is not a fit or proper person to rear them.

This appeal is from that judgment.
