Both the trial and•first appellate corts have been to.view the. land in dispute. Having gone through the record and oonsider~d. the evidence on recortl and the grountj.s of appeal, I hold that the finding of faots by the learned trial magistrate which is upheld by the ~irst a;ipe_llate court is sound. The trial magistrt:.te gave reasons for the finding as did the first appellate court. T'.:is finding is borne out by the appellants, as well as respondent's ev:Ldence. The appeal is without me:rit and is aocordingly dismissed 17/9/91 Coram - RU.311.MA,J
