41 Ark.] The chancellor, as it appears from his written opinion, found that that part of the plaintiff's road in this State, and formerly known as the Cairo and Fulton road, had yielded by its operations a net income of ten per cent. per annum on the cost of construction and equipment. What we have already said renders it unnecessary to go into this question. In the very nature of things, it is impossible to do more than guess at it. It appears by the plaintiff's own proof that its officers cannot tell, save by an approximation, what the actual earnings of this part of the road are.

The decree is affirmed.
