No error apparent on the face of the record has been demonstrated so as to justify interference. It is well settled that the power of review cannot be exercised as an appellate jurisdiction.
4. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, we find no merit in the present review application, and the same is accordingly dismissed.
