Dante v. Quilietti

This is a bill in equity for the cancellation of a mortgage. The bill contains no specific prayer for an accounting, but it does pray for general relief. At the conclusion of a hearing on the merits, the trial justice, in a decision from the bench, first denied and dismissed the bill in its entirety; and then, upon the request of counsel for the complainant that certain credits be allowed under the prayer for general relief, he amended his decision to that extent and entered a final decree in accordance with the amended decision. The cause is before us on complainant’s appeal from that decree.
