RITCHIE J.

RITCHIE J.—We are all of the opinion that there was evidence to support the findings of the learned trial judge and that the Court of Appeal was not justified in interfering with those findings.
The appeal is therefore allowed, the judgment of the Court of Appeal set aside and the judgment of the trial judge restored.
The appellant is entitled to her costs in this Court and in the Court of Appeal.
Appeal allowed with costs.
