Supreme Court of Vermont

Decided November 30, 1903PublishedCited by 6 opinions

Appeal in Chancery. Heard on pleadings, master’s report, and orator’s exceptions thereto, at the March Term, 1903, Franklin County, Tyler, Chancellor. Decree overruling the exceptions and for the defendant to recover the balance found due. The orator appealed.

1Opinion of the CourtStafford, J.

The orator, in his brief, claims that the master erred in receiving and rejecting various pieces, of evidence, but, save in one instance only, the report and the case as presented here afford no basis for raising the question. It is necessary that the report, either in itself or by reference to exhibits or testimony, which the advancing party spreads before us, should furnish the foundation for the legal question *71sought to be raised. It is not enough that the party, in his brief, or even in his exceptions filed to' the report, states such supposed matters of fact.

The bill seeks an accounting…
