    Before WALLACE, LACOMBE, and TOWNSEND, Circuit Judges.

We think it unnecessary to add anything to the clear and exhaustive discussion of the intricate question presented on this record, which will be found in Judge Thomas’ opinion in the circuit court. We concur fully in his reasoning and his conclusions. The decree is affirmed, with costs.
