Regularly, the Court should have heard the-evidence and given its decision in writing, which should have contained a statement of the facts found and the conclusions of law — the facts and conclusions of law stated separately — and judgment upon this decision should have been entered accordingly, as were the findings. The Code, §417.

Affirmed.
