Appeal, No. 379, Jan. T., 1957, from decree of Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County, in equity, Docket No. 11, in case of John W. Willwerth et al. v. Parke C. Dunlap et al. Decree affirmed.
Equity. Before JOHNSTONE, J.
Adjudication entered dismissing the complaint; plaintiffs' exceptions dismissed and final decree entered. Plaintiffs appealed.
M. R. Eaby, with him Eaby Eaby, for appellants.
Charles R. Cooper, Jr., with him Louis S. May, Barley, Snyder, Cooper Mueller, for appellees.
The chancellor's findings of fact are supported by the evidence, and, having been confirmed by the court en banc on exceptions, have the weight of a jury's verdict. The conclusions of law which the chancellor correctly applied to the established facts, fully justify the final decree entered.
Decree affirmed at appellants' costs.
