STRAYER, J.A.:

We are all satisfied that the Board of Referees applied the correct principles and had evidence before it upon which it could conclude as it did.

We therefore confirm the decision of the Umpire limiting as he did the imposition of the penalties to the 10 false statements on the report cards.
