The Honorable William A. Beasley, appointed as special master in the above-entitled cause, has at my request prepared an abridgment of the two opinions he filed herein. It states fully and clearly the legal principles upon which I overruled the exceptions to the master’s report, and, for purposes of publication, I herewith adopt it as the opinion of the court in ruling upon said exceptions.
