Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This case is governed by Coe v. Hobart Manufacturing Company, 70 App.D.C. 2, 102 F.2d 270, and J. C. Eno (U.S.) Limited v. Coe, 70 App.D.C. 337, 106 F.2d 858. We have carefully considered the earnest and thoughtful argument of appellant’s counsel that we should overrule those cases, but we are still of opinion that they were rightly decided.

The judgment appealed from is therefore affirmed.
