We have examined the record, and see no reason for disturbing the decree entered in the Superior Court.

The proceedings are regular, and have been prepared with great care, indicating patient investigation and a familiarity with the legal principles involved.

The decree is fully sustained by Springs v. Scott, 132 N. C., 548; Hodges v. Lipscomb, 133 N. C., 199, and Trust Co. v. Nicholson, 162 N. C., 257, and upon the authority of these eases the judgment is

Affirmed.
