The findings of fact made by a judge who decides a case without a jury, are entitled.to as much if not more consideration than the findings of a master or referee, and where the decree based thereon is not manifestly wrong, the same will not be disturbed.</p> <p>2. Practice, Trial — Appointment of Interpreter. The appointing of an interpreter is in the discretion of the court, and is not ap-pealable.</p> <p>3. Acequia — Right to Water Flowing Through. The failure to work an acequia under the laws of the Territory regulating the same, will not justify those who have no interest therein in wrongfully appropriating water flowing through it.</p>
