   Opinion by

Mr. Justice Linn,

Bichard Weglein was sheriff of Philadelphia County from the first Monday of January, 1932, until the first Monday of January, 1936. He appeals from a decree in equity based on the Act of 1937, P. L. 284, 16 PS section 3694, considered in the appeal of Cunningham’s Executors, a case that was argued with this appeal. Eor the reasons stated in the opinion filed in that case the Act cannot be applied to appellant.

The decree is reversed and the bill dismissed, costs to be paid by appellee.
