EUGENE A. BURDICK, District Judge.

This action to quiet title was remanded by this court to the trial court for a new trial on the single question of the apportionment of accreted property claimed by the respective parties. Jennings v. Shipp (N.D.), 115 N.W.2d 12. We directed the trial court 'to apportion the new shore line between the parties in parts corresponding to the ownership of the old shore line, and determine the boundary line between the two tracts by drawing a straight line between a point on one shore line where the segments owned by the respective parties join to a similar point on the other shore line and modify or amend the judgment accordingly.'

Upon Remittitur the trial court, conformable to our directive, received in evidence by stipulation of the parties Exhibit 'X', an engineering survey, establishing the points of departure of the present shore line from the line of the old shore and determining the lengths of both shore lines with respect to the entire body of accreted land. No additional evidence was offered by either party. Thereupon, the trial court apportioned the accreted lands in accordance with our directive. The Defendant has perfected the instant appeal from the Judgment on Remittitur and has demanded a trial De novo.

We have carefully examined the record and the findings of fact made by the trial court in its Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order for Judgment on Remittitur and find that these findings with respect to the apportionment of the accreted lands conform to our directive.
