Appeal from a judgment entered upon the report of a referee.
Henry Gr. Atwater, for resp’t; Julien T. Davies and Joseph E... Lord, for app’lts.
No question of importance is presented in this-case. The findings of fact are well supported by evidence,- and the sums awarded for past damages and fee value are fair and reasonable.
The appellants’ point that it was error to award past damages, because the property had been in the possession of tenants holding under the plaintiff for several years prior to the commencement of the action, has been decided against them so frequently that further reference to it is superfluous.
