Judgment Upheld.

In upholding the decision of the lower Court, Judge Rudkin of the Appellato Court said:

This is a writ of error to review a judgment of the United States for China in favour of the plain tiff, based on special findings of fact. The assignments of error all based on the insufficiency of the testimony to support some of the special findings, but the findings themselves were not excepted' to' and the suffeloney of the testt- mony to support them was not challenged in the court, below. On such a record it is firmly settled, if à question or practice and pro-. cedure can over be settled, that there is no question before thie court for review."

The draw offers little of interest, outside the match between the Hearts and Motherwell, which has great possibilities. It is easily the tit-bit of the draw. Hearts one of the most prolific scoring teams in Scotland, Mother- well have been going very strongly in the League away from Home.
