In a suit in equity brought by an agent to recover his proportion of profits accruing upon a certain lease where another agent claimed an interest in such profits under an agreement between the two agents, findings of fact depending upon the credibility of witnesses and supported by abundant evidence to tbe effect that the lease in controversy was not covered by the agreement will be sustained.</p>
