Allis v. Insurance Co.

delivered tbe opinion of tbe court.

This is an appeal from a decree of tbe Circuit Court for tbe District of Minnesota, ordering a sale of land in a proceeding to foreclose a mortgage. Tbe appellant, who was defendant below, entered bis appearance in due time, but default was taken for want of answer, and a decree pro confesso rendered. Tbe case was then referred to a master, to ascertain tbe sum due, and report a decree. This reference, and his report a few days after, and tbe decree now complained of, were all made during the same term of tbe court, and no exceptions were taken to tbe report.
