Mr. Justice S WAYNE

delivered the opinion of the court.

The question of the validity of the Provisional Court is notan open one. We have held it valid upon more than one occasion when the question has been before us.

The fraud charged upon Izard is expressly denied by his answer and is not sustained by the evidence. There is a decided preponderance against it.
