These two appeals were from a judgment rendered by the District Court in a single action involving the same parties and were heard together by this Court upon oral arguments, briefs and the record.

In our opinion, the findings of fact adopted by District Judge Boyd are supported by substantial evidence. We agree with his conclusions of law.

The judgment of the District Court is, therefore, affirmed.
