The appeal lacked merit as the lower courts properly evaluated the evidence and the appellant failed to demonstrate any error in the appointment of the respondent as administrator. The new ground regarding advocate appearance was not a pure point of law and could not be entertained at this stage. The concurrent findings of the lower courts were upheld.
