1Opinion of the CourtRugg, C. J.
This is an appeal from a decision of the Land Court. The proceeding is for the registration of the title to a parcel of land in Cambridge. There was reference to a master. N6 evidence is reported and no exceptions were taken to the master’s report. The hearing before the judge of the Land Court was on the master’s report. The facts found by the master must be accepted as true. The only question open is whether a decree for the" plaintiff is warranted by the pleadings and master’s report. Lyons v. Elston, 211 Mass. 478, 482. Harrigan v. Dodge, 216 Mass. 461. Schneider v. Hayward, 231 Mass.…
