OPINION

DUMBAULD, Senior District Judge.

Ordinarily an appellate court is bound to affirm a judgment on appeal when it is free from error. Binney v. C.&O. Canal Co., 8 Pet. 213, 219, 8 L.Ed. 917 (1834). But if the law has changed pending the appeal the appellate court must apply the law in force at the time of its decision. The Peggy, 1 Cr. 103, 109-110, 5 U.S. 103, 2 L.Ed. 49 (1801).
