Opinion of the Court

The Court:

An examination of the record in this case satisfies us beyond doubt that the agreement of the parties to the deed sought to be reformed was that the north-east quarter of section 6 should be included, instead of the north-west quarter of that section. The findings are abundantly supported by the evidence. The decree corrects the mistake which occurred in the deed, and gives effect to the intention of the parties to it.

Judgment and order affirmed.
