Rep. 525, holding that a final decree in equity will be affirmed where entire ease shows errors, if any, in pleading or procedure, have not resulted in a miscarriage of justice.
But said decree should be modified so as to divide the *1131 costs and impose such costs, both in the lower court and in this court, equally upon complainants and defendants it appearing that neither of the adverse parties has been diligent in avoiding the necessity for the expenses of this litigation.
