Two members of tbe Court think that a new trial should be awarded, while tbe other two held a contrary view. Thus the Court is evenly divided in opinion. Following tbe uniform practice of appellate courts in such cases, tbe judgment of tbe lower court is affirmed and stands, not as a precedent, but as tbe decision in this case. Durham v. R. R., 113 N.
